Re: 1959: The year the music died.

Buddy Holly chartered the plane for his guys on the tour.
But, because the Big Bopper was so uncomfortable riding the bus- the seats were too close together, he really was BIG- Waylon Jennings gave up his seat on the plane so he could fly.

When Buddy Holly found out Waylon wasn't going to be on the plane, he said "I hope your bus freezes up" in fun.
Waylon replied jokingly "I hope your plane crashes".
ouch.

Re: 1982: Lawnchair Larry

Lawrence Richard Walters flies 16,000 feet into the air July 2, 1982, setting off a chain of events that lead to the song "death of a minor TV celebrity". This is his final flight into the abyss as he turns off the TV... artsy fartsy no?

See it close up here.

Wasn't this taken from a copyrighted photo? (Or don't you need Mr. Buckner's permission to use his image/likeness?)

Re: 1982

Re: Buckner -- 1986

No. Ugh. I mean I know it'll get rejected, but I'm just fearful of a Bunch of Red Sox fan's getting behind this. We get it, you were sad, you've won two in 4 years, get over yourselves.

Re: 1988: Super Mario Bros. 3 Released In Japan Resub

This is my design based on the cover of Super Mario Bros. 3. In 1988 this game was released in Japan. It is a Japanese man wearing a rendition of the Japanese Hakama Pants which are similar to Marios. He also has Geta Sandals and Tabi Socks. Instead of "M" for Mario on the hat, the red circle is meant to represent the Japanese Flag. It has six colors and the shirt color which shows through in some places. You can view a large detail if you Click Here Thanks!

Re: 1985- Wierd Al Yankovic comes onto the scene

I abosolutely love Weird Al. But that's a concertina on his back, yes? I think you need to upgrade him to the full size accordion. :-)

Re: 1979

hey yoda, could you slap that on an actual heathered tee so we can see how it'll print? I'm usually so leery of voting for shirts with a heather background as it's mottled and all. I'd really like to see a better detail with the actual shirt style.

Re: 1982: Thriller

If only they allowed more than 6 colors - each progressive dancer could get inexplicably lighter.

And, heck, they reissue it every five years anyway. I saw a 25th and a 30th anniversary cover recently...

Ooohh...I fear I was quite near the orignal release for my birth date XD <3
