Hammerin' Hank

Suckers! No. Not baseball's rightful home run king. Another clue? Think Damaged. Henry Rollins brought his "Provoked" spoken word performance to town last night. Three-and-a-half hours of it. Let's see, twenty bucks plus service charge divided by three.five... a bargain! I knew going in that he would have something to say that would prick my ego. Something. I was waiting for it. I wanted it. I needed it. We all get old. Rather, we all grow up. Some of us are just a little slower at doing so. When Mr. Rollins spoke of becoming less cynical as he has gotten older, and that he now saw his cynicism as "cowardly armor," I think I grew up. A little.
