John Peel OBE, 1939 - 2004
Ms. Bogan's ambition in "Whiskey Selling Woman" (see Part 1 in "A. B." No.4) to "have a still on every street in this town" and no police allowed "15 miles around", seems to have previously been realised in Birmingham, Alabama (her home town) some ten years prior to her being born. Due to the growing industries in pig iron and coal, particularly, the city attracted many farm workers off the land in Alabama and other Southern states. The population, in fact, grew so rapidly that "neither the police force nor the fire department could possibly do an adequate job. (1). This growth surpassed that of any other Southern city, in the 1880s,and Birmingham had a "Wild West" reputation with a "saloon and brothel on almost every street in the downtown area. The carrying of firearms was a common practice, because police protection could not be counted on."(2). To be fair, this was due in part, to the small size of the force; in 1885 with a population of nearly twenty thousand "there were only 20 policemen within the city." (3).
The situation grew worse in the next 13 years. A picture taken in 1898 outside Birmingham police station depicted a group of just 22 police officers. The population in the mean time was around 38,000 in the city and at least another 20,000 in the suburbs; such as Bessemer and Pratt City. The fire department must have been in a similar sorry state as houses often burned down because of insufficient fire-fighting facilities. Meanwhile, "Certain curiously-named places developed in the city like Pigeon's Roost and Scratch Ankle, which were so named because they were hotbeds of vice and crime." (4). The last-named 'hotbed' probably alludes to the leg-irons worn by black prisoners trapped in the horrific convict-lease system. Starting in the 1880s,"There were still about fifteen hundred convicts in Birmingham mines..."(5) in the period 1900-1920. Alabama finally abolished convict leasing in 1928; the last state to do so.
Lucille Bogan and lawlessness seemed to be pre-destined to be always linked. The town of Amory, Miss. where she was born (see Part 1),"was established when the railroad between Memphis and Birmingham was being surveyed."(6). A camp was built in 1887 at a spot halfway between the two cities. "Many settlers, drawn by the railroad and the fertile soil made their homes here. There were also many transients which were of the worst element and much lawlessness and vice were common, with five saloons in operation." (7). By the time the "better element" had asserted itself with churches, schools, etc. Bogan was Birmingham-bound. But she was headed for the city sometimes known as "Bad Birmingham, the murder capital of the world" (8) and "the dirtiest city on earth."(9).
Booze sold in downtown (city centre) Birmingham, Alabama. c.1910 on 2nd. Avenue N. "Old Joe Whiskey" at 25 cents a ½ pint; "Turkey Gin" & "Jefferson Club Whiskey" at 1 dollar a full quart.
Sounding a lot like Chicago in Al Capone's hey-day, shady businessmen and gangsters who owned powerful liquor interests, gambling houses and brothels, had some members of the city council on their payroll; and "seemed too powerful to control"(10). This state of affairs was reflected in Oklahoma before statehood in 1907. The state was then known as "The Nation", "Indian Territory" or the "Territo'". As Eavenson relates, in the latter part of the 19th. century, the Territory had "no towns and few settlements..."(11). Even if, as a generalisation, this was not 100% accurate the few towns that certainly did exist before 1900 were largely run by native Americans (usually half-breeds), outlaws and greedy white land speculators. Any civic disputes were usually settled with a gun rather than through a court. Existing outside the control of the U.S. federal government and free from local white (and racist) legislation, Indian Territory attracted many blacks from Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama and other Southern states. Among them would be included transients, criminals and prostitutes. The Nation often cropped up in the early blues, including Ms. Bogan's. In 1927 she recorded an "Oklahoma Man Blues", and included these lines:
"When I leave here, daddy, pin crepe on this town. (x2) An' you know by that, me an' my man is Oklahoma bound." (12)
With an obvious eye on a more lucrative market for her "wares" (bootleg booze and prostitution) in the lawless "Nation". Bogan's opening lines refer to an extension of the Southern black custom to pin black crepe over the front door indicating a death in the house. As far as racist Alabama was concerned, she and her man were dead because they will never be seen in that state again.
This lawlessness is reflected in many of Lucille Bogan's blues, already quoted. Her attitude to life seems to have been that while she had to conform to "establishment" rules a lot of the time, she sought and needed the excitement of the rounder's life with sex booze, gambling and dancing.
"A workin' man is my livin' but a gambler is all I crave, Workin' man is my livin', gambler is all I crave. These gamblin' men is gonna drive me to my grave."
"A workin' man is my livin', Lord, rounder is what I crave, My man is gone in the war-time, an' brought up like a slave. Fussin' and fightin', are my gambler's ways."(13)
She rejects the established social mores and Protestant 'work ethic' imposed by the white, and therefore the black, middle-classes. Her partner is enslaved to them and as a 'reward' is allowed to take part in World War I on behalf of the U.S.A. But her "gamblin' man" stays home and gets all the "fussin' and fightin" he needs. Bogan not only rejects the; whites' social controls but their "moral standards" as well.
"What make a woman have the blues, she knows that some tommy's (*) got her man; What make a woman have the blues, when she knows that some tommy's got her man. Just get you four or five good men, woman, and do the best you can."(14)
* a l9th.c. term for a young woman.
In the black section of town, in the city's Harlem on Eighteenth St. Birmingham, Alabama 1937. It's easy to speculate that Lucille Bogan sang her blues in the Cotton Club!
This amoral/immoral streak runs through most of Bogan's blues which included references to prostitution such as "Tricks Ain't Walking No More" and "Stewmeat Blues". (see Part 1). "I'm evil an' mean as I can be", and "I ain't no thin' but a mistreater baby", she declared on "Pig Iron Sally" (see Part 3), swallowing her industrially-polluted environment and spitting it right back out. Rarely, does she attempt to distance herself from this "anti-establishment position as she does on "Reckless Woman" (Pt.3).
Together with the theme proclaiming her strong sexuality, as in the unexpurgated "Shave 'Em Dry (Pt.3) and her preference for "struttin' it in the rough" on "Strutting My Stuff" (Pt.3) you get the definite impression of a woman who has a strong sense of 'self' and her own worth as a human being. As a black feminist has noted "the assertion of individuality and the implied assertion - as action, not mere verbal statement - of self is an important dimension of the blues."(15). Williams was referring to female blues but her observation is just as true for the male singers. In the case of Lucille Bogan her self-assertion was not so much implied - but actual.
She did not sound, either vocally or by the contents of her blues, like someone to be messed with. Her sense of involvement with illicit liquor and prostitution would seem to support this. She had the same tough attitude towards men. At least one of her relationships points to her husband/partner being a railroad man, who worked as a fireman, probably on the M. & O. or the T.& N.0. RR. She had at least 2 marriages or serious relationships and possibly 2 or more affairs; one involving another blues singer, Will Ezell, and an unknown man who lost his life in a cyclone. Although a tough and extrovert character, Lucille had her vulnerable side, as shown in "Black Angel Blues" (Pt.3), when she fell deeply in love.

kimifan - Unregistered November 20, 2012 10:22 AM @Ptolomy, i would prefer a slightly different version, engine should explode on the penultimate lap of Alonso, and Massa should pass him showing finger and end up in podium jumping up and down! that will be a fitting end. 48 agree 13 disagree
Ptolomy - Unregistered November 20, 2012 10:10 AM Lets say Webber qualifies in front of Alonso in Brazil. And then Red Bull take a pair of snips and clip the transmission seal on Webber's car in order to place Alonso onto the dirty side of the track. Would that be fair? What would happen? That would be "playing by the rules" right? 33 agree 5 disagree
