Welcome to Who Wants to be a Know-It-All?, the game where we see just what kind of trivia geek you are!

Every week, I’ll post one of my “I Did Not Know That!”-type videos, what I like to call The Secret History of Rock Trivia of the Week.

And remember: if you have any kind of weird trivia, I’m always interested in it! Send it via tiwtter (@alancross), Facebook, or leave a comment at the bottom of this post. If your trivia happens to be credible, I’ll use it in one of my video blogs and will credit you.

    i once read that the term punk was coined by lester bangs in 1968, in an unprinted article, to describe the psychedelic/garage bands of the mid 60's. could just be a typical lester bangs myth though.
