Episode Goofs
When the concert is starts and it's announced on television, the announcers say it's live from Oklahoma City. But it was mentioned earlier in the episode that it was being moved to Little Rock, Arkansas. This was a major plot point, so a fairly large error.
Despite already shown dead, Kenny is seen on the bus at the end of the episode.
