Today is “The Day Music Died.” On this day in 1959, a small four-passenger plane crashed in Clear Lake, Iowa, killing three very talented, young musicians in the prime of their careers: Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson. The phrase itself was popularized by Don McLean in his 1971 song “American Pie.”

The 24th annual Tough Guy Challenge took place last weekend, on Sunday, January 31st, on South Perton Farm, near Wolverhampton, England. Despite being billed as “the safest most dangerous taste of physical and mental endurance pain in the world”, this year's race still attracted over 5,000 men and women – all of them signing a disclaimer saying “It's my own bloody fault for being here”. About 600 racers did not complete the course this year – the winner being Paul Jones of Oswestry, England, completing the course in one hour 18 minutes. The Challenge is annual event to raise cash for charity with funds going to the Mr. Mouse Farm for Unfortunates. Special thanks today to photographer Mike King, who was kind enough to share 16 of his great photographs of the 2010 Tough Guy Challenge below. (31 photos total)
