Exile...
While reading exile, i saw that Ohio was written out to say O-hi-o. I wondering to myself if that is suppose to be a pun of some kind. Or if it has any relevance at all. But through reading it, it seemed to be a hard time for the music genre rock. Legends were dying to drug related problems it seemed. Its also a look into the life of the rolling stones.That time in life seemed to be the time of confusion. In it Springsteen says that Villa Nellcote was the best time in his life. But the directions he gives you to get there wont do you any good. Once you got inside thought, it was covered in mirrors reflecting your reflection from all different angles. Later on in the prologue it talks about Anita's, Jagger's love interest. She was a very outspoken woman always looking for the inside "dope". She put Jagger on Nixon's enemy list. It also seemed that Keith didn't like the owner of a club and almost hit him but missed, and kept playing his gig. Keith later boards his plane to nice,Italy to go to his favorite place.
Malcolm X...
Malcolm X started out a drug abuser and user, also as a pimp. He was later convicted and sent to jail. In prison is where he found his voice. He met a man named Bimibi in jail, where he spoke with such profoundness that everyone would listen to him. He soon started reading all categories of books. Expanding his vocabulary, and began to become mentally alive. He was later transferred to a less violent prison where he would have debates on various things. He would most always try to work in racism in his speeches. He believed that all white people were evil. His religion and past experiences thought him to hate the white man, and revolt against them.
