a jaded hack is me!

Okay, so you all read " Perry and Me," my account of how a $2.50 blurb caused famed rock star Perry Farrel to stalk the fuck out of me for months. I just ran across evidence of another bit of similar hilarity ( Read more... )

BeBop records rocked. If I remember correctly it was right off of Reseda Blvd. on Sherman Way. Growing up in Woodland Hills, we used to go there all the time - mostly for rock-a-billy bands. But I did see my only spoken word performance ever there, and it was Exene.

Were you, by any chance, at the Nick Cave/Rollins reading at Club Lhasa in August of '84?

I think I was, yes. Not sure which of us you were asking.

I was asking you, just for the hell of it - I was there, all seventeen years of me at the time & hadn't thought of it 'til I looked at your writeups and realized we were probably at a lot of the same shows for about a three-year period

This kind of thing happened to me once when I was reviewing bands in San Diego. A jazz flutist came after me with a vengeance, yo.

I love it! HA.
I have only had jobs being a staff writer of food reviews, I only wish a cheesecake would come at me with so much excitement.

First time I read either story, actually. Excellent. Thanks for sharing.

I don't really have a problem with Rollins, but his show on the IFC is a little annoying, not in the least for being the hip, liberal equivalent of a Fox News show, but also because everything he says seems forced as hell, as if he's terrified of fucking up in front of the camera. It's actually hard to watch.

"Forced as hell" and "terrified" describe Henry's interactions perfectly and have for the last 20 years.
