I saw his spoken word tour years ago, not long after he had stopped frontin for Black Flag.

Big fan of Black Flag as well.. but never saw them live. I'll watch the vid, it's got to be good.

Excellent history of Black Flag.

Circle Jerks... and X like three times.

Circle Jerks AND The Clash? LOL... seems an unlikely pairing... who opened for who?

I got to see Joe Strummer on solo tour... not that great.. it was OK

nice... one of the pioneers. I remember reading an account of how he had to go to the emergency room
after a concert-- he'd stepped on a big piece of glass and laid his foot open.

his hair was dyed some wild color... the nurses had never seen anything like this..

reminiscent of the Sex Pistols first U.S. tour, where they were going thru southern cities... jaws dropped
everywhere these guys showed up.. LOL

thanks for posting!

given yesterday was original Gonzo writer and observer of our pathetic system, Hunter Thompson's birthday.. it appears
time for Henry to take on his mantle. I will contact him and make this suggestion... LOL.. hopefully he's on Twitter

Henry clearly has the written, articulate and witty Gonzo style down.. but beyond that he speaks it well.. Thompson
was not so hot at that. probably bcause of the drugs and alcohol raging thru his body at any given time

Of course, knowing him and his humor, I'm fairly certain his tongue was planted firmly in his cheek, but I still didn't like some of the imagery, even though I do believe Coulter should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

There's no doubt in my mind that Ann sees herself as a modern day Dagny Taggert, so submitting to Henry's John Galt should come easy to her.

And she should absolutely STFU.
