Good men

Hi there. It’s me again. Remember when we were kids and we watched Hocus Pocus, the H-Street skateboarding video, and Matt Hensley did 360 flips with his long-ass monkey arms? We were like, “Whoa, that dude is crazy-looking!” Then we asked our moms to buy us Doc Martens, but they wouldn’t because they were too expensive and our moms were too cheap (except Ian’s mom, that fucker). We didn’t deserve them anyway, because we were failing all our classes and all we talked about was Dead Kennedys instead of English and all that other boring shit. You don’t remember? Ah, well, Hensley is now the accordion player for Flogging Molly, the Celtic punk band, which isn’t really a surprise, because that dude always had an accordion player vibe to him. That said, Flogging Molly’s latest album Float rips. It’s not annoyingly Celtic or cheezily punk; it’s a good fusion, like when ranch dressing gets onto your sushi. Anyway, why they’re playing the Radisson is beyond me; that’s like Don Ho doing a set at The Press Club. But whatever. I’m sure it will be fun. What? Don Ho is dead? Oops. Party foul. RIP, bro.
