This time around, another lot of the music I like and a little surprise at the end which has to do with my new project. Don't forget you can visit The Paleo-Cinema Cafe On Facebook.
Terry, about a sentence in your intro that you read on this 'cast: The FBI wasn't involved in going after gangsters during Prohibition, even during the brief period the agency, then called the "Division of Investigation", was part of the Bureau of Prohibition. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureau_of_Prohibition )

Terry - hearing you read your Introduction to your book brought back a lot of memories for me! Like you, I came of age in the late Sixties/Seventies, with a long-standing love of the kinds of movies (horror, SF, exploitation, action) that my parents strongly disapproved of. The biggest difference between our upbringings was that my Dad was Career Army and my parents were Christian conservatives, so I didn't see anybody in my family so much as drink a glass of wine or a beer until I was nearly an adult.
Just a brief correction based on your Introduction: J. Edgar Hoover had almost nothing to do with bootleggers during Prohibition, even after the FBI (then the "Division of Investigations") was folded into the Bureau of Prohibitions in 1933. While the FBI officially claims their job was to bring down gangsters, the fact was they steered well clear of bootleggers, Hoover believing all that money would corrupt his men.
