Rudy Castro was gooooooood.

"He must've thought it was white boy day. It ain't white boy day, is it?"

I just gotta answer your tag line. "No boss, it ain't white boy day."

Loved that movie, and Gary Oldman is the man.

He was not a good singer and he treated Ritchie like $h!t.

Well in the extended directors cut we get the scene where two days prior to the garage dance ritchie called in la migra to have rudy castros parents deported. You would be a little upset and not let ritchie play any songs either.

I seriously doubt that. Castro had attitude toward Ritchie at the audition which turned into jealousy after hearing him play. He then used his status as the band's leader to keep Ritchie in the background. Had he not thought playing the American Legion Hall was a waste of time, he might have been the one discovered.

One of the difficult things about playing music in a band is dealing with guys like Rudy.
