The Men Who Killed Oates Duncan Floyd

A young rabble-rouser from the south helped change music in the 1950s. He didn't know it at the time. A small-town radio announcer beams his voice out over the cold Atlantic. His voice ends up in Japan. Oates: adopted son, backroom operative, homewrecker, educator, underground businessman. From the fifties to the 1990s; from the beach at Daytona to muddy European festivals; from scenes and schemes in Nova Scotia to the islands of Japan... There are a lot of people who wouldn't mind getting rid of Oates.
