    Another coincidence today with the clue about Buddy Holly!

      Yeah, Rhonda, that’s just wild! The funny thing is If they had that clue last week in Thursday’s game or before, I probably wouldn’t have picked “American Pie” for the Friday song

      • rhonda says:

        I’m glad that they didn’t do that, VJ, otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten to see that awesome clip you posted!
