Bakshi also condemns the use of drugs without delving into the pressures which cause their use. The band plays in Kansas, and, what do you know, a kid who visits backstage turns out to be Tony's (from that first backstage tryst). Tony suffers a series of painful flashbacks that seem to assert: "Oh, why did I go across the country and take all those drugs when I could have stayed, married, and washed dishes all my life?

Slavery at its worst did that job most efficiently, but when slavery was no longer available, something else evidently had to take its place. In his autobiography, Black Boy (1945), Richard Wright tells a story of himself as a teen-ager working in an optical factory in Memphis. Some local white men tried repeatedly to goad Wright and Harrison, another black boy who worked for a rival company, into a fight by telling each that the other hated...
