You buried the lead! Jack Black is awesome. If I were next to him, I'd talk music (mainly Rush) with him the whole trip.
EVery Sunday afternoon LAX to JFK Virgin (now Alaska Airlines) has a celebrity in 1st class.

I like Scott and I appreciate his work. I've caught the odd error in what he is reporting but for the most part, it's good stuff. I had one pretty big issue with what he was reporting on the New England mob and Whitey Bulger. But he corrected his story.

I reckon he does fully attempt to ingratiate himself with non-LE for his Detroit reporting. But I believe all the other cities, he's - a la Capeci - the mouthpiece of LE. Are there material available - court records - that he could have leveraged? for sure, but given the timing of events (Al Grecco), it's likely he was fed the entire script of unsolved/uncharged murders.

Scott is legit and very generous with his time. I asked him a question via email about an article he wrote and he responded fairly quickly. I was surprised I even got a response. I need to subscribe to his site.

He used to post here fairly often, but he hasn't done so in a while, probably because he's been busy with all the new stuff on his site.

I don't care what any of you say. Scott is the best fiction writer working today. More creative than Spielberg.

Remember on this very topic I was questioning Scott's reporting style not so long ago since it went behind a paywall. What's next? He's going to YouTube a live sit-down between the cammarano faction and Mancuso faction.

Could also be because of the constant harassment by certain members. Constantly calling him a liar and a fraud. Would you want to post here when every article gets these types of responses?

He has brought more discussions and information than most of this site outside of what is available via documents and gets railed on for it since the FBI didn't mouth it word for word.

If i was him, i wouldn't come here often either.
