yep, I've had to explain the cymbol thing to a few non-musician friends.
It's been a long time since I saw it (caught it in the theater when it first came out), but wasn't the recurring image of the thrown cymbal explained in the film itself? Don't they eventually show the (flashback) scene where the drummer (Jo Jones?) throws it at Bird because he's so bad?
