You simply can't legislate morality. You did a great job of capturing the speakeasy vibe. I feel such an affinity with this era. Have you heard of Al Capone's 40th birthday party where some of his henchmen kidnapped Fats Waller to play for the party? It raged for 3 days (without sleep) and I think I remember reading that Fats was thrown a bag with $100k cash as payment in the end. Crazy times!
But they keep trying...
Capone was a big cocaine user, so 3 days sounds about right. Cheers, @ericvancewalton
P.S., 100k for 3 days -- I'll take that!
Yes, they do! I had no idea he was a coke user. It explains the explosive temper! Yeah, not a bad payday considering it was probably well over a million factoring inflation.
The good ole' days...
