60 years ago Feb 3 was the day the music died. A plane crash killed Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens. Holly's legacy lives on in Lubbock, TX @LEPAALubbock. In 2020, the @DiamondSchmitt-designed Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts opens.

Aristotle taught his students to be successful in arguments they must use Logos (the facts), Ethos (credentials and experience) and Pathos (methods of influence & passion).

While all are important, logos - the facts! - provides the base for ethos and pathos.
