The Irish Troubles – Part 1: Miami Showband Massacre Decoded? Chapter 19

The Miami Showband Massacre is described as ‘The Day the Music Died’ by the BBC, the Belfast Telegraph, the Irish Independent, and Belfast Childis blog and many others.

This is due to the chilling effects it had on the entire peoples of Ireland:

“The result of all this has been that a whole generation of teenagers have grown up deprived of the normal social outlets that kids can expect elsewhere. And that’s why it’s so important that some kind of entertainment survives.

Well, right now many dance halls may have to close down and that’s because of what happened to the most popular group in Ireland.

That group could fill any hall North or South of the border.

It was called the ‘Miami Showband’.”

The term ‘The Day the Music Died’ originated with the tragic plane crash which wiped out the Buddy Holly Ritchie Valens and “The Big Bopper” when their small airplane crash landed apparently killing them all, in an Iowa cornfield.

This disaster, itself widely rumoured to be a ‘deep political’ assassination, spawned the world famous song with one of the most famous vocal hooks in rock: ‘the day the music died’.

The sentiment defining the track, the mysterious lyrics, melody and delivery is so popular that the song was voted number 5 in a 2001 poll compiled by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts naming the 365 ‘Songs of the 20th Century’.

The lyrics contain the following lines:

“A long, long time ago

I can still remember how that music used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chances

That I could make those people dance

And maybe they’d be happy for a while

[…]

I can’t remember if I cried

When I read about his widowed bride

But something touched me deep inside

The day the music died”

Don McLean, ‘American Pie’, 1971 [ Archived here ]

The apparent reference seemingly coincidentally woven into the tragedy?

“The morning after the massacre there were police officers who brought me into a room and asked me to help them draw an identikit of someone who I remember was involved that night and there was one thing that stuck out in my mind; I was always a fan of Buddy Holly. […]

[…]One of the guys had these heavy rimmed dark glasses and they found part of his glasses on the main road.”

Des McAlea, ‘ReMastered: The Miami Showband Massacre’ Netflix Documentary, 22nd March 2019, 18m:45s – 19m:27s 

That such poignantly symbolic glasses were found at the scene, indicates the possibility that the recruitment of a UVF member with those specific and highly unusual ‘Buddy Holly’ style glasses, which were curiously and quite possibly significantly left at the scene:

“The morning after the massacre there were police officers who brought me into a room and asked me to help them draw an identikit of someone who I remember was involved that night and there was one thing that stuck out in my mind; I was always a fan of Buddy Holly’s. One of the guys had these heavy rimmed dark glasses and they found part of his glasses on the main road. So that’s how they caught one of the murderers.”

This appears to add an element of synchronous ‘duping delight’ to the ritual, for the Miami Showband Massacre in its annihilation of music for Buddy Holly’s band were like the Miami, wiped out by a very suspicious disaster, alleged by some to have been carried out by bomb and gun, in a vehicle.

It occurred at a time which Buddy Holly just as the Miami years later, proved a ‘problem’ to the establishment:

“The lifeless bodies of the passengers were immediately found. Buddy Holly and Valens were thrown out of the plane and found near the wreckage. Richardson was found over the fence in the neighboring field, while Peterson’s body was trapped inside the wrecked fuselage. The coroner stated that all of the four victims died on impact.”

However, Buddy Holly’s famous glasses were mysteriously not found at the crash site, but a pair very like them appeared at the site of the Miami, both incidents wiped out the most popular bands of their time in their area; the coincidence here appears to be yet another layer in the tapestry of the Masonic dance of death in mass programming:

“… as the flames climbed high into the night

To light the sacrificial rite

I saw Satan laughing with delight

The day the music died”

Don McLean, ‘American Pie’, 1971

Reminding us conveniently of the concept that it appears that:

“The ultimate purpose of [such an] assassination was not political or economic, but sorcerous; for the control of the dreaming mind is the underlying motive in this entire scenario of lies, cruelty and degradation. Something died … call it idealism, innocence or the quest for moral excellence – it is this transformation of human beings which is the authentic reason and motive…“

James Shelby Downard, ‘Sorcery, Sex, Assassination and the Science of Symbolism’, 1978, referring to JFK [ Archived here ]
