Primetimer July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 Retta might be playing Sylvia Robinson in the latest Drunk History, but she gave her a lot of Donna Meagle realness. Read the story Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11062-s02e03-american-music/#findComment-203829
Dagny July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 I did not know how much of a bad-ass Kris Kristofferson was. I knew about the movies -my timeline. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11062-s02e03-american-music/#findComment-204904
Joimiaroxeu July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 Disc Jockey Alan Freed plays rock and roll for the first time. He may have played it for the first time but he didn't invent the term. Not sure why the show gave the impression that Freed just casually came up with it. The expression had been in use for years in blues and jazz circles before he apparently popularized it via his radio show.

peeayebee July 16, 2014 Share July 16, 2014 Loved Retta. I wanted that segment to be longer. I'm also a big fan of Jack McBrayer, so I enjoyed him as Alan Freed. One other thing: A guy pulls his pants down in a bar to light his fart?! Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11062-s02e03-american-music/#findComment-205098
ganesh July 17, 2014 Share July 17, 2014 I knew a little bit about the story of Rapper's Delight, but I didn't know Hank was a pizza guy or that Herc didn't want to make a record. DJ Kool Herc is widely credited as *the* inventor of rap. Johnny Knoxville didn't have much to say, but he did a good job as Cash.

bosawks July 18, 2014 Share July 18, 2014 I'm kind of disappointed they didn't do George Jones riding the lawn mower to the liquor store. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11062-s02e03-american-music/#findComment-210354
