...occasionally flashing one pallid cheek to the congregation. As he crooned in a raspy baritone, he slid one hand into his pocket and drew out an enormous Bowie knife, which he held to the guitarist's throat in a skinnyboned imitation of a hard-ass punk. After picking his teeth with the knife, the Boy tired of that toy, only to pick out a new one for the next number: a pink plastic pleasure machine, with which he caressed his bony pelvis in mock ecstasy between stanzas.

...long way from the streets of Boston to the hills of Harlan County in east Kentucky. The people of Harlan County are hard, lean men and women who work all their lives; their hands are broken and rough, especially the hands of the women of Harlan. They miss teeth. Almost without exception, the people of Harlan County work in coal...
