The brothers, who have never talked publicly about their reunion, both grew up in Pine Bluff, Ark., a town about 45 miles outside of Little Rock with one of the highest crime rates of any metropolitan city in the U.S. Mr. Hunter admits to carrying a gun around Pine Bluff for safety as a youngster. He also remembers often playing cards by candlelight with his brothers because his father, then a crack addict who often squandered his paychecks on drug binges, left the family unable to pay its electric bill.

How is that tougher than a night out at Olive Garden?

So? I lived in Pine Bluff for most of 2nd grade -- Cherry Street, represent! -- &, like, everybody carried a gun around town & played cards by candleight because crack-addict dad didn't have the money to pay the light bill. Boo hoo hoo.

Also, I know from personal, bitter experience that when he was a kid Pine Bluff had Diet Cherry Coke, while Little Rock did not. ############ was living in heaven on earth, whether he knew it or not

Nice article, but the bizarre formality of calling its subjects 'Mr' in juxtaposition to the overly flamboyant sentences is a bit jarring.

Secret Brother

Uh, I believe that's Undercover Brother.
