Here's an excerpt. You can read the entire story by clicking on the link above.
"Wouldn't it be wonderful to bring Dad back to life?" Jay, 49, said recently from Canada, where he was touring with a tribute act to his father, Holly and Valens.
"I have no personal use for the casket," he said. "When you get down to it, it is just a metal box. More important is what this particular metal box represents.
"In another 200 years, will people care about rock 'n' roll?" Jay asks. "Who knows? But why would I want to destroy it? Even though it was Dad's resting place for 48 years, it's also a unique opportunity to learn more about the early years of rock 'n' roll."
"Bring Dad back to life" "Learn more about the early years of rock 'n' roll" WTF? This Bopper Jr is clearly delusional. What could one possibly learn about rock from the Big Bopper's used casket? What I think it's about is wringing as much money out of your dead father as you possibly can, at the expense of your self-respect and sense of appropriateness.
