METALACHI AT FULTON 55 On a hot summer night in Veracruz Mexico circa

nine months later five bastard children where born. Unable to care for
her hungry offspring and concerned that motherhood would seriously

off to America in search of a better life. Against all odds, 14 years
later, and nearly dead from dehydration, the burro knelt down to drink
from the stagnant waters of the Rio Grande just ouside of Juarez
Mexico --mere yards from the U.S. border. With one fleeting burst of
energy the brothers Espinoza cinco climbed from their leather
restraints and scampered the vast reach of the river, collapsing onto
the sweet amber hue of American soil. As if by destiny, lodged in the
sand beneath their tanned faces was a record sleeve upon which were
the words "PARANOID” and “BLACK SABBATH". For many years to
