I Heard You Paint Houses: Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran & Closing the Case on Jimmy Hoffa

by Charles Brandt Author

New York Times bestseller and inspiration for the film "The Irishman," I Heard You Paint Houses, is a true crime story that delves into the fascinating, yet seedy history of the Mafia. Author, Charles Brandt, spent 5 years collecting recorded interviews with Frank "the Irishman" Sheeran, who has confessed to carrying out twenty-five hits for the mob, and for Jimmy Hoffa. Includes both an epilogue and new conclusion that detail significant post-publication corroboration of Frank Sheeran's confessions to the killings of Jimmy Hoffa and Joey Gallo.

"$100 and a T-shirt is a wonderful documentary chronicling the Portland Oregon zine scene circa 2004. There are tons of interesting interview snippets with zinesters that exemplify the diversity of motivation for and approaches to do-it-yourself publishing, and a little zine history and lore going back as far as Martin Luther. My one observation which might not be obvious to the uninitiated is that the world of zines, mail art, and DYI is even more vast and diverse than represented here. The Portland zine community tends to lean punk, grunge, anarchist, riot grrrl, slacker, etc. While that's delightful, it would be just plain wrong to think or suggest said package of values, though common enough, are in any way inherent to self publishing. I don't know why anyone wouldn't want a copy of this DVD. they should be playing this on PBS."
