Not long afterward, the FBI watched Motorin walk into a store in downtown Washington and barter his operational allowance of vodka and Cuban cigars for stereo equipment. Using these indiscretions as leverage, the FBI persuaded him to begin spying for the U.S. He identified for the FBI the name...
Gender roles are examined throughout the piece which is danced to John "Mighty Mouth" Moschitta's spoken synopsis of "A Streetcar Named Desire," John Lee Hooker's "Smoky Joe's Cafe," and a Jimi Hendrix song, among others.
