FIRST Jeopardy! (9/8)
 

Check back at about 21:00 EDT.

I meant for this to be part of yesterday's question, but it was too good not to do at all. Hey, I'm giving out another 500 for this one anyway. We all know Don McLean's song American Pie is about the day the music died. Well, this is the day the music died, and what happened on that day.

What is May 10, 1982 b.c of FM Radio?

When is February 3, 1959?

What is the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper?

and I knew that reason off the top of my head, as with yesterday's song :p I didn't know the date, but I knew the event.

What is March 8th, 2001: the day the Spice Girls broke up?

What is the creation of rap "music?" :p

I'm going to have to agree with DJ... but Jeff still gets his points.

That was a cheap shot at rap... :(

For the most part, people who say things like that have never listened to good rap...

^ Oxymoron :)
