Interesting story. I never knew that, but of course, knew the song. RIP, Peggy Sue.

Thanks for posting FSB. Doc sent me an e-mail about this as well (thanks Doc). Sad, I love that song. She is in heaven for real now.

Thank you, for posting Paul and SBLS. I thought Peggy Sue Gerron!s’ story was interesting, and she must have been thrilled when she first heard the song Buddy Holly sang knowing it was about her.

It brings the question of who the others are that are written about in lyrics that became famous. There are many, and some are well known, while others are either lesser known, secretive, or not attached to anybody in particular.

Take another Sue for example. Runaround Sue (1961) is originally reported to be not connected to any girl in particular. Dion DiMucci married his present wife Susan (née Butterfield) in 1963. Rumour has it that Dion’s wife would go on to tell people the song was about her because she felt it lended some importance, and Dion would deny it or avoid any answer to the fact. In 1990, on Oprah Winfrey’s show Dion and his wife alluded to the fact that Run Around Sue was indeed about Susan Butterfield (DiMucci), with whom he had a relationship a few years before marriage, around the time of the song being written and produced. :roll:
That’s show business. :D
