Louis Armstrong was arrested for DUI back when you really had to try hard to achieve that.
>>131002474David Crosby. James Brown. As in actual prison time not a night in jail.
>Chuck Berry was incarcerated three times. In 1945, when he was 19, he and two friends stole a car in St. Louis at gunpoint and took it for a joyride. Berry was sentenced to three years in prison. In 1959, he was arrested when a 14 year old Hopi Indian girl accused him of hiring her as a prostitute. Berry was sentenced in 1961 to two years in prison for sex trafficking despite a lack of evidence regarding his guilt. In 1979 he was sentenced to three years for tax evasion. This last concerned Berry's habit of demanding cash payment before concerts and not reporting it as income.
>In March 1965, Zappa was approached by a vice squad undercover officer, and accepted an offer of $100 (equivalent to $1,020 in 2025) to produce a suggestive audio tape for an alleged bachelor party. Zappa and a female friend recorded a faked erotic episode. When Zappa was about to hand over the tape, he was arrested, and the police stripped the studio of all recorded material.[11] Zappa was charged with "conspiracy to commit pornography".[1] This felony charge was reduced and he was sentenced to six months in jail on a misdemeanor, with all but ten days suspended.[11] His brief imprisonment left a permanent mark, and was central to the formation of his anti-authoritarian stance.[11]
>>131003218Merle's prison songs always got to be bc of that. How about Johnny paycheck shooting a guy in the head?

>>131004554Can you blame him? The government literally set up him up, because he was a weirdo and undesirable. These are the times MAGA wants back, total facism. You can't be a weirdo basement dweller freak that makes funny sex tapes for his friends because its "degenerate"but If you want to really know what made him a cynical cunt its when that guy pushed him off stage and almost killed him, put him into a small coma, I think his brain was actually different after that.
>>131004842In August 1959, during a break in a recording session at the Birdland nightclub in New York City, Davis was escorting a blonde-haired woman to a taxi outside the club when policeman Gerald Kilduff told him to "move on". Davis said that he was working at the club, and he refused to move. Kilduff arrested and grabbed Davis as he tried to protect himself. Witnesses said the policeman hit Davis in the stomach with a nightstick without provocation. Two detectives held the crowd back, while a third approached Davis from behind and beat him over the head. Davis was taken to jail, charged with assaulting an officer, then taken to the hospital where he received five stitches. By January 1960, he was acquitted of disorderly conduct and third-degree assault. He later stated the incident "changed my whole life and whole attitude again, made me feel bitter and cynical again when I was starting to feel good about the things that had changed in this country".
>>131004842Mf-er must have thought that could only happen in Alabama or something.
>>131004576That was totally a setup job because TPTB didn't like rock-and-roll back then and were out to get Chuck. The girl he supposedly trafficked was Native American? LEA in the 50s normally never bothered with this stuff if no white people were involved.
>weed is still illegal in Japan uuh, thing, japan bros, what's our response?
>>131004993The japanese prefer to get high from sleep deprivation by working 24 hours per day
>>131004899>The girl he supposedly trafficked was Native American? LEA in the 50s normally never bothered with this stuff if no white people were involved.Back in the day they didn't say "sex trafficking" they said "white slavery" the implication being "we only care if the girl is _white_"

>>131004856OMG, the religious right porn firewall might reduce my one-click porn sites from 5000 to 4500.Meanwhile, 85% of the country's urban real estate is no-go zones after sunset because the left won't allow them to 'overpolice' Tyrone.
