Huh, I did not realize that Waylon Jennings was haunted for years about Buddy Holly's plane crash/death.

apparently, he was supposed to be on the plane with Holly and another guy instead of a long ass freezing cold bus ride. Richie Valens then flipped a coin for the other guy's seat and won.

And Big Bopper had the flu so he asked Waylon to trade and Waylon did. Holly then went to Waylon, "I hope you freeze your ass off on that bus."

Waylon replied, "I hope your plane crashes." And then it did and he was haunted by that guilt for the rest of Waylon's life for the offhand joke.
