Synopsis
A.J.'s real name is Ajamu Talib. His dislike for his African name is the least of his problems, still it says a lot about him. Brooklyn born and bred yet outcast by his peers, his only escape was music. A.J. found freedom in rock n roll. Tight clothes, straightened hair, popular with girls and partying every night, he is fully entrenched in the debaucherous New York rock n roll scene. For once he feels like everyone else--well, almost. He begins to find that his chosen community, the white rock world, only seems to run smoothly for white rockers. A series of events force him to recognize his friends, both exotify him and are in denial of his blackness. Black, but not "really" black. What's a young black rocker to do?
