Loved it.
And I couldn't tell if the building collapse was real or all in Richie's head but after watching the "Inside the Episode" it was real and based on a real event - Mercer Arts Center collapse in August 1973.

Interesting. I kept going back and forth arguing with myself whether that really happened or if it was a drug induced dream of some sort.

Yeah, my immediate reaction was they're taking a little license with the Mercer collapse. If it had happened the way Vinyl depicts it there would have been hundreds of deaths. I had read about it in several books about the beginning of the NYC punk scene and I knew in my mental picture of it that it happened in the daytime, not in the middle of a Dolls gig.
I like the show a lot but for the sake of my wife enjoying it I'm trying hard not to nitpick things like that and certain little anachronisms that I've noticed.
The whole thing with Andrew Dice Clay's character was a fun ride. "Face your fears... face your fears..." "Yeah, man... I got it."
It's got a little bit of Boogie Nights appeal to it.
