| Итог: | Those lines from The Doors's 1967 haunting rock classic, "The End," point directly toward the violence that defined the conflict between the generations during the Viet Nam era. A Killer, identified as both a Young Man and a Son, walks on down the hall to a confrontation with the Father he wants to kill, a confrontation that takes us to "my only friend, the end ... I The end of laughter and soft lies, I The end of nights we tried to die," an end that erupts in an orgasmic communion of music and violence. If even a cursory examination of rock-and-roll music reveals a structural teleology pointed toward violent rebellion, then we should suspect that a rock play like Sam Shepard's The Tooth of Crime will be structured around the same telos. |
