Jelly Roll was a gentlemen

From the CD set I'm listening to, Jelly Roll talks about a colleague from back in the day. Keep in mind this is an older gentleman talking in 1938.

Tony happened to be one of these gentlemens that a lot of people called a lady or a sissy or something like that, but he was very good and very much admired.

Q: Was he a fairy?

I guess he was either a ferry or a steamboat, one or the other. What you pay a nickel for, I guess. Tony was a great favorite in Chicago, also. He was no doubt the outstanding favorite in the city of Chicago.

I won a contest over Tony Jackson that threw me in first line. I never believed that the contest was given to the right party even though I was the winner. I always though Tony Jackson should have had the emblem as the winner.

Interesting discussion of drugs after this bit, too.

Even partial morselization would require an injury report

Thanks to zebulon_y, today's phrase is:

"total morselization of body due to being pulled by a gloved hand into a commercial wood chipper."
