Attention all geniuses and prodigies:
Realize you have a special and unusual value to the world, and, as such, you should never have a cavalier attitude toward your own life and existence and think it's okay to behave recklessly or to carelessly and impetuously put yourself in harm's way unnecessarily, as you are the ones who matter more than any of us "average Joes and Janes".
Don't do what Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens did 60 years ago, when they were so anxious to get to their next performance gig a few hours early in order to get a few of their personal affairs in order before having to hit the stage again, they hastily threw a few bucks at a local privately owned fly-by-night air transport outfit with poorly maintained equipment operated by hack amateur management and crew as their make-shift on-the-spot means of getting to that next destination
...resulting in the untimely demise of two promising ultra-talented creative singer/songwriter musicians who potentially stood to change the course of and improve upon the present state of popular music.
Instead, we wound up having to rely on others of equal aptitude to inject and infuse THEIR visions and perspectives into that realm, always perplexedly wondering what might have been had Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens still been around to interact with the music scene of latter-day.
