Buddy Holly married Maria Elena Santiago, a receptionist for Peer-Southern music, at the age of twenty-two. He was a Southern Baptist hayseed just beginning his ascent into the god realm of rock n' roll. She was a Puerto Rican angel. He asked for her hand in marriage on their first date. Eight months later, his plane went down in a frigid-ass northern Iowa cornfield. Maria was two weeks pregnant with his baby. (She later miscarried.)
