I'm a big Buddy Holly fan, I'm proud that Paul owns the Buddy Holly catalog! I'm curious as to Paul's opinions of this article! If the original Buddy Holly story, starring Gary Busey, is inaccurate, then the truth of Buddy Holly's story needs to be told! We all know that Paul will play a big part in the new project if it ever materializes. I hope it does happen.

Paul's MPL with BBC produced a documentary titled, THE REAL BUDDY HOLLY STORY" featuring the real members of The Crickets, Holly's family and friends and gave a kind but disappointed facial reaction of "The Buddy Holly Story." No words. That was released in 1987. Gary Busey posed with Mrs Elena Holly in Hollywood at the presentation of Buddy's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame during Buddy's 75th Birthday.

Here's one story I was told by a man who met Buddy Holly. PAUL CARMELLO was a boxer, and entrepreneur and a stuntman/actor. The producers of "The Buddy Holly Story" invited Paul to a meeting to tell his story of Paul met Charles Hardin Holley. Before Paul could tell his story, they needed confirmation from one person. So one of the producers called on the phone, Elena Holly, Buddy's wife. Over a speaker box, Elena confirmed this was Paul Carmello. So Paul his story: Paul took an abandon roller rink facility and turned it into a gym. Lubbock, TX crime rate was mostly boys creating chaos in the community. In order to reduce the crime rate Paul invited the boys to his gym and take out their aggression at a punching bag or in a boxing ring. Also Paul requested the help of police officers from the Lubbock PD to train the boys in boxing and physically working out, better than arresting them. So Paul told this story that one of the boys approached Paul and told him if they can use the gym as something like a dance hall or a hangout to invite their girlfriends, and charge tickets for admissions. For music, rent a jukebox and use the ticket sales to pay for the jukebox. Paul, all of sudden said let's hire a band and we'll pay the band half of the ticket sales. It was agreed...and later, in walked Buddy Holly to take offer. Come the night of the concert, Buddy and his band, the (soon-to-be) Crickets was asking Paul were to set up and Paul told them to set up their gear in the boxing ring. Buddy and the band were skeptical about playing in a boxing ring, but Paul told them he'll remove the ropes. Paul was too weak to remove the ropes from the ring. So he convinced the band to perform in the ring like if they were the champions. The band agreed. The producers thought the story was boring. But they took one part of the story and it's in the movie, THE ROLLER RINK. Instead of abandon, it was a roller rink, opened for business. AND Paul is in the movie, "The Buddy Holly Story." Paul plays Mr. Parker, the head of the roller rink business. Paul is the guy who approaches the organist and tells him to stop playing because the band is about the perform, Live, and on the radio. Paul is also in the ticket booth, outside the roller rink, smothered with kids who are desperate to pay and run inside to see Buddy and the band. And that's it.

ALL Hollywood biopics take liberties with the facts. Nothing unusual here. Oh, and did anyone notice the caption on the photo said it was "Buddy Holly circa 1970" -- or roughly 8 years after he died? I must say he looked awfully good for being dead 8 years.
