Buddy Holly died in a plane crash after playing a show at the Surf Ballroom, a super-cool venue in Clear Lake, Iowa, that we ride past every few years on a bicycle ride across Iowa.  The day the music died.

A great insight into James Burton's work is Roy Orbison's "Black And White Night." Concert at a L.A. nightclub a year before he died. 

Good stuff.

Here's one:

It's been reported that the artist of the of the most memorable bass intros in rock n' roll history was too drunk to stand up in the studio to record it.  So, he recorded it laying down on his back.

True? Or, false?

If true, which artist/song?
