Juvenile Delinquency
Six Boys in Trouble
This album features jams on homemade percussion instruments by six 11- and 12-year-old African American boys living in New York City public housing, about 1955. These young, untrained musicians improvise the tunes and tales of their upbringing on this rhythmic release and draw inspiration from family folk traditions and popular radio and juke box hits of the era. The group’s enjoyment is apparent in their school yard musical expressions, as is their self-identification with the community in which they live. The album is divided into three parts: Percussion Ensembles, Rhythms with Voices, and Rhythms with Verses. The liner notes provide a deeper look into each section, as well as a subsequent transcription of the lyrics.
Playlist for the rest of the album here.

Kids These Days
A ten year old boy who was upset by all the noise being made by a man working on the side of the apartment building decided to do something about it. The kid wanted quiet so he could hear his cartoon. To that end he cut the rope the worker was hanging from, 80 feet up the side of the building. Fortunately the man was secured by 2 ropes and coworkers pulled him to safety with the other one. Surprisingly it happened in China not the U.S. I suppose if it had been here the kid would have shot the worker with daddy's gun.

Destruction: Fun or Dumb
Be sure to hang in at least long enough for the unforgettable theme song, starting around the minute-and-a-half mark.
