Music Jokes:

What few people know about Buddy Holly is that he was so enamored with one young lady that he sung about her all the time in his concerts. Needless to say, this young lady didn't enjoy the unwanted attention, so she brought him to court for sexual harassment. In other words.... Peggy sued Peggy sued Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty Peggy sued!
