[78-L] It's not only Ken Burns who get it wrong, or what is the obsession with Dave Brubeck?

The Buddy Holly Story is full of this sort of anachronistic stuff. 
The same goes for a film made that was to be the story of The Monkees 
which showed their records as being on a label that was blue and 
white, whereas the Colgems label was red and white.

One Ken Burn's docu-thing that got on my nerves was Empire of The 
Air: The Men Who Made Radio. The lack of any mention of Nikolai Tesla 
or Heinrich Hertz was bad enough. The reminiscence of some of the 
contributors was enough to make my skin crawl. Particularly grating 
was the commentary by Garrison Keillor where he spoke in overblown 
terms and tone of voice of the radio having this "huge glowing dial". 
Of course not being a fan of GK at all, this only made him seem more 
like a buffoon in my eyes
