People still think to this day that Gene Krupa was a drug addicted party animal, and that is largely because of "The Gene Krupa Story" film. Gene Krupa was arrested on false marijuana charges in 1943 and this negatively affected his career for a number of years and the release of the 1959 major motion picture, “The Gene Krupa Story,” only further damaged his reputation.
In addition to the drug bust, the film is full of mistakes about Gene’s gear, his career, andhis life in general.
Brooks Tegler is an expert on all things Gene Krupa. He has told me for years about how much this movie got wrong, so I wanted to have him on the show to go through some of the key things that it got wrong.
This is just for fun, so please do not be offended if you if you enjoyed this movie - we are being very critical for the sake of Gene's reputation and to bring to light the historical errors.
