A quick one (and an easy one)

In Don McLean's song 'American Pie', he sings about "the day the music died".
In this song, what is he refering to by "the day the music died"?

You remember the song, here is the chorus:

So, bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and rye, singing
This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Buddy Holly's plane crash. And I HATE that song (American Pie). It's like 4 hours long.

Told ya it was an easy one.

That song tells about rock-n-roll history from 1959 till the early 70's.
Here is a link that explains the lyrics.
