Zoot suit riots?

[lobbs]

You guys ever hear about the Zoot suit riots during WWII? i never had before today, and i wathc alot of history channel n read books about WWII. it was those hispanic riots versus service men and police officers. When i first herd the word zoot suit, i thought it was like a gestapo youth uniform or something. its just werid you think ya no something and ya find out a giant chunk was missing from the history.:wall:

wasnt there a song about that a few years back. I cant remember the name of the band, but I had the CD.
Weird Al made a version to the song and called it Grape fruit diet

It was by Cherry Poppin Daddies.

Our MTSB also played it a couple of years ago….it was great. http://pages.sssnet.com/tomch1/Images/bandobie.gif
