JAILHOUSE ROCK
Last Sunday the world’s largest prison was invaded by 23 freaks who blasted thirty-six hundred inmates with high energy rock & roll music. The concert was the culmination of a liason between the rock community and younger inmates. Creem and WABX began arranging the event soon after Dan Carlisle received mail from our many brothers currently residing in Jacktown.
JAILHOUSE ROCK
Last Sunday the world’s largest prison was invaded by 23 freaks who blasted thirty-six hundred inmates with high energy rock & roll music.
The concert was the culmination of a liason between the rock community and younger inmates. Creem and WABX began arranging the event soon after Dan Carlisle received mail from our many brothers currently residing in Jacktown. They are able to listen to Dan’s show for about one hour every evening. Each cell has a set of earphones with stations picked according to popular demand. The concert was arranged with relative ease through the efforts of prison musical director Don Young.
Two shows were given featuring area rock & roll lunatics Wilson Mower Pursuit, the 3rd Power and Savage Grace. 3rd Power opened the first show with a killer set to be followed by Savage Grace. The Grace struck home with their “Hymn to Freedom” which earned them an enormous ovation. Due to a time hassle, Wilson Mower Pursuit couldn’t do the first show, but they more than made
up for it in the second.
