un criminel américain qui fait aussi le portrait des bas fonds solidaires dans la société américaine fin 19e this autobiography of a career criminal is also a fascinating portrait of the american proletarian criminal class and their associates at the end of the 19th century from hobos hopping trains and being beaten mercilessly by railroad bulls to salt chunk mary an incredible character and the best fence for stolen property in the west black pops in and out of jail while continuously improving his connections with a widespread and mutually supportive underworld when one is in trouble friends all pitch in a socialist model in stark contrast to the prevailing mentality in america in passing he profits from his experiences to provide first hand social criticism that was surely radical at the time and still bears up i ve read a number of books of this type edward bunker s education of a felon is an interesting comparison during my reading i was increasingly disturbed by a nagging doubt was the book genuine the lack of documented detail 1 and candide like structure were capped by the classic exploitation formula a final chapter of the form i hope my story will serve as a warning to stay away from the criminal life does this make me more of a skeptic or less gullible than william s burroughs who cites the book as a key influence perhaps but now we have the internet some searching led me to on line archives of the san francisco call the newspaper run by fremont older a progressive with faith in the inner goodness of black who bargained him out of jail and set him on the good path i discovered something marvelous the timidity of black to set out the gory details of his criminal life did not affect the reporters who covered the police blotter for the sf call 4 quite the opposite here are a few examples that make for entertaining reading and that also removed any remaining doubts about the authenticity of black and his adventures i suppose we have to take into account the vast differences in society and what has become allowable in literature since 1926 but imagine if he had let loose with all the nasty details that even the reporters didn t know whew what a book that would have been 2 links below it was not long after black landed at ingleside jail five years ago that he became a power within the walls he set himself as the commercial king and sold the most sought after commodity dope it is known that when in his cell black sold shots of morphine through the wicket to other prisoners at 10 cents for each hypodermic injection he would insert the needle in the customer s arm inject the shot and collect his fee san francisco call volume 111 number 36 5 january 1912 black was the wealthiest man in the county jail not excepting the officials he was known as the king of the opium ring and made a small fortune in the sale of morphine and cocaine to the other prisoners who desired the drugs it is known that several days before his departure he had 2 700 of his own money strapped about his waist in a money belt two weeks ago he told a grand juror who was inquiring into conditions in the jail that his bank roll amounted to 2 000 among his other possessions he had diamonds unset solitaire clustered and watches and other jewelry he was abundantly supplied with expensive clothes of the latest fashion san francisco call volume 111 number 36 5 january 1912 when the officers attempted to place the suspect under arrest black drew a revolver before he could make use of the weapon however the detectives closed in on him a desperate struggle ensued and black was not subdued until beaten almost into insensibility san francisco call volume 95 number 138 16 april 1904 a remarkable detail is the prevalence of opium sales and consumption by chinese people who seem to have their own separate underground society in one scene black is in an unfamiliar town and needs a hit of hop opium 3 he simply looks for a chinese laundry in the way that someone today might look for a mcdonalds knowing in advance what is on the menu another recurring theme is corruption in the criminal justice system and the book finishes with an appeal for its reform black repeatedly buys himself out of situations in the most matter of fact way at least today these practices are more concealed overall an interesting read in spite of my regrets over what this book could have been thanks to my friend phil for recommending it and to my old neighbors ak press in sf and amok in la for putting it out 1 for example when he steals a fake ruby he says strangely it never made the papers 2 the book s excellent afterword written by bruno ruhland lifts a phrase from an article without crediting it while nevertheless citing the wrong date 1906 black in 1904 caused a reign of terror in the mission district during the course of a number of daring robberies and holdups cf sf call 24 december 1912 3 now i know where the fifties term hop head came from 4 here are links to these articles which are well worth reading 5 5 january 1912 24 december 1912 16 april 1904 18 april 1904 19 april 1904 20 april 1904 5 the catastrophically bad veridian ocr software for on line newspapers apparently does not perform even the most elementary heuristic cleanup on the scans leaving things like numbers and capital letters in the middle of words it relies on crowd sourcing cf wikipedia the kindness of strangers to come in and fix up the lousy scans as a public service i located as many articles as i could about jack black and manually

but let me tell a little story i grew up in suburban new jersey in the 1960 s it turned out to be a great time to be born but a lousy location my favorite toy was my battery powered transistor radio i listened to the top 40 am radio stations in new york and philadelphia my earliest memory is listening to the supremes on a car radio another great memory is me and my friends singing along with alice cooper s school s out on the jukebox in our school cafeteria in 1972 check out the audio on this page in particular 1964 1968 this is exactly what i listened to constantly on wabc 770 am new york since these links are airchecks they do not contain the full length of each song they are edited to mainly show what the djs used to say introducing the songs talking over the beginning and end of songs doing hokey commercials being stupid taking phone calls on the air etc i thought they were so cool maybe one day i could be a dj i recommend that you listen to this one because it is not edited like the others many songs are full length it s a show from 1967 with dj cousin brucie according to the site it was also broadcast to american soldiers in viet nam and pointedly includes victor lundberg s an open letter to my teenage son top 40 was literally after taking bribery and manipulation into account a list of the top selling 40 singles for the week in the country or in a particular market they would be broadcast all day and night on these stations but that was not a problem in the 60s it was all incredibly great in my neighborhood chain store they had 40 wooden bins for the 40 hit 45s arranged in order i would save my allowance money and buy my favorites in the 70s pop music changed for the worse and simultaneously i started to become aware that i did not need to listen to the crap that was being fed to me on commercial radio as i had done happily for years i was looking for something else but didn t really find it i started listening to electric blues john lee hooker elmore james lowell fulsom in particular on the university of pennsylvania college radio station in philadelphia wxpn i dug the first george thorogood album too when he played in philadelphia i made it in the door of the club by wearing a big hat and a heavy coat with a collar that went up to my nose since i was way under age there was a teeny punk scene in philadelphia at that time but i was unaware of it i left suburban new jersey for boston in september 1978 to attend mit soon after arriving hanging out in my dormitory and with my habit of listening to wxpn i decided to see what the college radio station of my own school was playing it changed my life wtbs soon to sell that name to ted turner for 50 000 and be renamed wmbr was arguably the best college radio station in town and maybe in the us it was a crossroads for the burgeoning punk scene in boston numerous punk shows featured all the latest records and tapes by local bands as well as national and international acts don t forget that at that time these records were extremely difficult to obtain newbury comics a little comic book shop opened by an mit dropout had innovated by placing a cardboard box of punk 45s for sale next to the cash register it soon turned into 2 boxes and then more i listened constantly to wtbs as well as the other college stations in boston i started going out to shows motivated by the concert report on the radio blaine my neighbor in the dorms taught me to play guitar in 5 minutes i practiced along with the first ramones album for a few weeks top tip turn the balance knob to cut out the original guitar or bass and then started a band i began djing at wmbr about a year later newcomers had to start on the 7am shift playing 60s music top 40 as well as garage although i snuck in some other stuff the show was called sleepwalk and it was the first show of the broadcast day we turned on the transmitter the pebbles series had recently started appearing sparking renewed interest on the part of punks for our garage predecessors nuggets was still available for cheap in cut out bins the lyres who played their first show in january 1979 were one of the first current day bands to get into this style mit students were few and far between at the station most djs were community members with much more musical and radio experience than the students also the average mit student did not care about music or any other cultural or social notion but it was station policy to favor students by putting them in positions of responsibility this enabled me to make a rapid climb up the station hierarchy and after a while i was program director in charge of choosing what shows went on the air my friend mick was station manager as reckless youth will do i threw numerous boring shows off the air and put on a wide variety of additional punk shows in their place as well as 60s shows an anarchist political show etc the best and most legendary punk show on wmbr was and remains today the late risers club it s the show i heard when i first arrived at mit i was never a permanent dj on that show although i did a couple of fill ins i founded my own weekly show called no fun with my friend don based on the concept of only playing old school punk records from before 1980 including 60s garage punk this concept was ahead of its time as it was only 1982 i also filled in on media blitz which featured california bands and who are the mystery girls which normally featured sheena and spencer two charming and unpredictable hostesses who could play or do anything we took over the venerable night owl show and turned it into an all request punk program college radio stations and shows like this were instrumental in the rise of punk music in the us in those pre internet days keeping people informed about new music local bands upcoming concerts etc i was proud of that and still am djs would compete with each other to stay on top of the latest music by reading zines and would order records by mail from far flung labels and bands to play on the air the dearth of college radio in france was surely an impediment to the rise of punk in that country when i moved to san francisco i formed disorder records a not for profit mail order business which lasted a few years with the help of frank kenny max and some other friends we drank beer every week in my living room and sent great records to people from nebraska to singapore who had no other way to obtain them customers if i still owe you money let me know while making my own mail order purchases in the 80s to get records i was passionate about i would not have believed that one day you would be able to listen to any song you wanted instantly and for free by clicking a button record stores would be closing and yet the misfits records i was getting for 3 would sell for hundreds of dollars on ebay while playing whole wide world on wmbr in 1981 i would not have believed that 30 years later i would friend wreckless eric on facebook and be accepted yay a little anecdote one of the jazz hosts i threw off the air at wmbr was melanie berzon she went on to a long and successful career on other public radio stations years later after moving to san francisco i participated in the maximum rock n roll radio show on kpfa in berkeley and did many shows along with tim and the gang however maximum rock n roll was eventually thrown off the air by the kpfa program director melanie berzon years later i was at the dentist in san francisco he gave me...
