Buddy Holly Museum & Grave in Lubbock Texas (Pop Culture Tourism)
We have left New Mexico behind and made our way to the great state of Texas. Our first stop is Lubbock, Texas. We visit all the Buddy Holly things we can including his park, JI Allison House, and the Lubbock Hall of fame and visit the outside of the Buddy Holly Center which was sadly closed we then visited his gravesite to pay our respects. Then we head off to Fort Worth and visit a Parton's Pizza - a staple that's been open for nearly 40 years!
Searching for Buddy Holly
He's just like Buddy Holly: actor/musician Zachary Stevenson takes his role seriously by visiting Texas, New Mexico and Iowa - three states that were significant in the pioneering rock n' roller's life.

Lubbock In TV & Movies
This is a educational and informative compilation of how Lubbockites and Lubbock is portrayed in the movies and on tv. There are several misconceptions. People from Lubbock are usually cast as, (a) criminals or less than desirable,(b) rodeos/cowboys,(c) usually have a thick west Texas accent, or (d) living on a farm. You can't mention Lubbock without also mentioning Buddy Holly. The city, with a population of 250,000, is set as somewhat backwoods, but in reality is a modern city. It is the largest city within a 300 mile radius , so getting there is not measured in miles or minutes, but instead of hours and hundred of miles.This may be the reason that many people do not know where Lubbock is.
This is a list of movies and shows that I've compiled that mention Lubbock and my objective to clarify any misconceptions about Lubbock or its people have by breaking down what is true and what is false.
00:00 ACE VENTURA-Truth:many people from Lubbock have been on game shows.
00:00 BEACHES-CC Bloom is portrayed as a hooker from
Lubbock. Reference to less than desirable person from Lubbock
01:19 BEER-Truth: Leaving Lubbock most people do get
homesick to return. Many a song has has been written about it.
Truth: Lubbock is in west Texas.
02:05 BETTER CALL SAUL-False: Actual City Hall is not as nice as shown in the
clip. The city leaders swindled the citizens to build a city hall in a building that
numerous corporations did not want. That is another story.
02:09 BONANZA- The worst pronunciation of Lubbock ever.
2:18 CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM- False: Spending the night in
Lubbock is not that bad.
2:25 DJANJO UNCHAINED-Truth-Lubbock has not been settled when this movie is set.

2:44 ELEVEN HUNDRED TO LUBBOCK. This is a short film as
posted from the trailer. I have not seen it ,but seems very
promising. There are shots of the Buddy Holly statue with
the actors. Distance measured here is 1100 miles.
3:02 HAPPY DAYS. Reference to rodeo clown.
3:43 HELL OR HIGH WATER .One of my favorite movies depicting west Texas,
Distance is measured in 200 miles. Lots of mention of small towns in the
region.
3:50 BROKE BACK MOUNTAIN. Reference to rodeo cowboy from Lubbock.
3:53 HEROES. The funniest west Texas accent from an Asian descent from Lubbock.
4:13 HEROES. False-There is not an aquarium in Lubbock, but there was plans to build one. I think those plans have died on the vine.
4:23 HONKERS. Two rodeos cowboys from Lubbock.
4:37 HOUSE OF CARDS. Person from Lubbock without an accent. HMMMM
4:48 KING OF THE HILL. This show has had many references to Lubbock. Not sure
what the basis for them are.

from Lubbock.
5:36 PHANTOM LIGHTS. Truth-This show was filmed at the drive in Lubbock-Stars
& Stripes with local people.

8:32 REBA. In the show there are many references to Luubock since they are from
Lubbock. There are many mentions of towns in the ares also.
8:48 REVOLUTION. Truth.The land in the background is flat around Lubbock. The
women offering to feed the people is typical to the friendliness from the area
residents.
9:43 RUBY- Ruby was from Nowhere, but caught the Lubbock Bus to get away.
10:04 SCANDAL-Truth, Area police are hard on DUIs,
10:15 SIMPSONS-Stuck in Lubbock hosing off a statue in Lubbock wile you could

A return visit to the late, great Stacy Sutherland’s grave in Center Point, Texas, this time to sing “Dust”, from the Elevators’ Easter Everywhere. Mixed up some lyrics, but there are a lot of damn lyrics in this tune.
