...paid well ($1.70 an hour to start, lO? above the federal minimum wage) and provided a clean, bright, air-conditioned factory. On the other side, the Amalgamated was eager to organize Farah Manufacturing as an opening wedge to crack the dozens of clothing manufacturers in the Southwest that bask in a non-union atmosphere. Union organizers were able to capitalize on a genuine labor grievance. Farah's mostly Mexican-American workers complained that they were held to unreasonable production quotas that often forced them to cut short their lunch hours and skip rest-room breaks.

I for one feel an ethical responsibility to bask in the bosom of my bands, and I cannot bask in Ray Davies' bosom. Nor can you watch the Kinks in concert and appreciate them on a purely performing level. Your cursory familiarity with the hand won't save you here. Davies demands an appreciation that goes back to "All Day and All of the Night" a steady attention to development. Which makes Kinks fans quieter cultists than the fanatics...
