While it may be true that Joe got a job at a black folks' pool back in '62, there's nobody anywhere saying he was a tough white boy ready to take on a pack of gangsters. The chain vs straight razors is right out of West Side Story, Jets and the Sharks, a Broadway play made into a movie. The 50's was the era that produced the movie "Rock Around the Clock" about hoods with Bill Haley and the Comets playing the theme song and a dozen others like "Rumble on the Docks", "The Wild One" (Brando) and :"Rebel Without a Cause" (James Dean). Joe has a vivid imagination and has turned a very ordinary life into one featuring himself a hero whether facing Corn Pop and his boys, to dodging gunfire in Baghdad or in a FOB in the mountains in Afghanistan. In fact, Joe is now pretty much an OG with Barry's gang of bangers.
