Best loss of a coin toss ever

Thank you very much for this story.

One of the all-time great stories in popular music......... although off an on throughout the years I have heard Waylon Jennings name as the loser as well as Allsup.

But its a tremendous story and reminds me of the Garth Brooks song UNANSWERED PRAYERS in a way........; or maybe the Stones YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT.

The day the music died. :(

Wow, quite a story. I knew the Waylon Jennings angle but not the coin toss. What a weird feeling that must have been, for a while.

It is that. Waylon gave up his seat on the plane to the Big Bopper. Valens and Allsup flipped a coin.
 
First time I heard this story was a couple weeks ago watching episodes of The Voice. Tommy Allsup's son, Austin, was a contestant.
 
Rest in peace.
