KKK announces a fearless ambition guaranteed to turn both sides of the color line to a common, angry red: "I am bigger than a nigger/ Wanna be an all American man/ Wanna join the Ku Klux Klan/ Play in a rock 'n' roll band." Wielding lyrics that take wide swipes at the collective social conscience, the Bus Boys are a much...
