With his relentless work ethic, punk rock icon Henry Rollins always seems to be moving forward, and never looking back. Far from your run of the mill “rock star”, Rollins has released 17 spoken word albums and has written a dozen or so books. He has also added radio to his ever growing Résumé. It's often been said that music keeps you young; Rollins is living proof.

Not long ago, well within this generation's memory, Halloween had been reduced from a sacred ceremony, celebrated by our pagan ancestors, to a few doomed pumpkins on front porches, and a small number of sad-looking kids in Little Mermaid and Darth Vader costumes wandering around the neighborhoods looking for candy. Now, two decades later, Halloween has become both big business and a time for Satanic ritual sacrifice, a holiday celebrated with horror festivals, haunted houses and hayrides, and a creative resurgence for Alice Cooper. How did all this happen in so short a time? One reason is that people always look for escapist solutions to real-world problems. This explains the resurgent interest in supernaturalism during times of war, plague, and economic upheaval. The major reason All Hallow's Eve has regained much of its ancient bite, however, is not economic but religious: the Evangelical Christian Community is responsible for restoring the sense of evil and mystery long missing from October 31st.  It's the Battle of the NFC East rookie QBs in Week 8 Oooooooh We've got to hold on ready or not You live for the fight when that's all that you've got Whooaaaaaa! We're half way there Whooooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear Whooaaaa! Livin' on a prayer Ryan L. Fox
I bet you $5 the Hoodie hums this on his way to work around this time of the football season. Yes folks, we are halfway through the 2016 NFL regular season. It just seemed like yesterday teams were starting out in Week 1 (the Browns would still be 0-7 at that point). Now that we’ve hit the midpoint, soon it’ll be time for teams to gear up and begin the second half of the season, which includes preparing for that race to the playoffs.  When most fighters say they "live in the gym," it's merely a figure of speech, a way to show their peers just how hard they're working.
For middleweight Wilfredo Santiago (6-3, 5 KOs), this commonly used expression is his reality, not just a clever euphemism. The transplanted Lawrence, Mass., native actually lives in his gym 2,200 miles west in Albuquerque, N.M. "I have a room in the gym and everything," Santiago said. "My address is the gym."

Okay so I probably wouldn’t have gone to see Chicago’s Oozing Wound at Aurora this month under normal circumstances because I usually don’t seek out thrash shows as a genre and I was actually working until the wee hours of the morning on a recording of my own when the good folks at Thrill Jockey (the label) sent me Whatever Forever (their latest release) and now I am bummed out I missed it. |
