Don't have much to crow about?  That'll be the day when I die.

Lubbockh is the critical link in popular culture's Great Chain
of Being in this half-century.  None other than Buddy Holly and
his immortal Crickets got started in Lubboch.  Next, you'll
be telling me the Big Bopper is unimportant.  No Lubboch, no
Buddy.  And we know that every Buddy loves some Buddy sometime
[I'm gonna go over to the couch now, Ken....].

BTW, if you ever doubt the existential randomness of the world,
consider that the Big Bopper got priority on that doomed
Beechcraft Bonanza by bumping a nameless backup musician - a
guy named Waylon Jennings.
