The Kinks Although they weren't as boldly innovative as the Beatles or as popular as the Rolling Stones or the Who, the Kinks were one of the most influential bands of the British Invasion. Like most bands of their era, the Kinks began as an R&B/blues outfit.

They were known to be trivial and shameful in mainstream society, and those who identified as trans were deemed ridiculous.

Da Kink in My Hair is a play by Trey Anthony, which debuted at the Toronto Fringe Festival in 2001. Marion J. Caffey was the director and chorographer of this produced at the NAC, which premiered on October 21st. I choose to see it opening night, as I find that is when an actor really shows their guts. It is the first time they hit that stage, and thus is the time to show boldness. Marion J.

Gates says, “The kitchen was permanent… no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t de-kink a person’s kitchen. So you trimmed it off as best you could” (627). In other words, Gates is saying that the kitchen hints that African Americans will never be apart of the white
To show how the African Americans straightened their hair. Gates says, “It made a scorching, crinkly sound, the hot iron did, as it burned its way through damp kink, leaving in its wake the straightest if hair strands, each of them standing up long and tall but drooping at the end like the top of a heavy willow tree” (41).

The British invasion was one of the most important periods in the history of rock n roll. It brought many different bands and styles to America. Many bands including The Beatles, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, and Herman’s Hermits swept the nation with their music. Americans jumped into the hype and the British invasion changed rock n roll music forever. Without these British bands, rock music would never be the same. Rock music was not a top choice of music for many Americans in the 1950’s. Elvis

After Max is no longer black he is thankful that he does not have to use hair straightening supplies again (Black No More, 14). It is probable that the name of Schuyler’s book is based on the name of that hair straightener. It is easy to draw the similarities between the two processes.

viewed as sinners and were looked at with reproach. I decided to write about kinksters, which are people who engage in unusual sexual behavior, because of the unwarranted criticism they face. It is comparable to being homosexual in that people with kinks may feel the need to hide this part of themselves from their family and friends because they fear being judged. People should not have to hide a fundamental part of who they are to the people closest to them because of widespread misinformation and
