(this was buried deep in a database at my work, I’m not sure who to credit with writing it)
Rocky is at a charity arm wrestling event in New York and before the big championship, Rocky is kidnapped by an Iraqi terrorist loyal to Osama bin Laden.
Being on US soil, the government can not use the CIA or illegal tactics, so a secret branch of the government hires Ex-Special OPS soldier Rambo to bring back Rocky or kill all the terrorists involved. As Rambo arrives at JFK airport he is befriended by a New York Cabby who knows this Urban Jungle played by Mr. T:
Mr T.: “I know Rocky foo! I hope you DO find him so I can knock him out AGAIN Sucka!”
Rambo: “Whoa, hey settle down big guy…this is much bigger than some boxing match”
Mr T.: “Quit yo jibber-jabber, ain’t nothing more important than a boxing match! It’s my life…my pleasure!”
Rambo: “Uh, maybe this will make you reconsider” (Rambo pulls out a handful of bling)…”I got this on a job I did for Liberace”
Mr T.: “Now you’re speaking my language foo, tell me more about this Arm Wrestling event kidnapping…”
Mr T: I pity the fool who goes out tryin’ a’ take over da world, then runs home cryin’ to his momma!
Rambo: Pain is my friend, I love it when a plan comes together.

Last night was the third Henry Rollins spoken show I’ve been to at SOHO Restaurant and Music Club in Santa Barbara. It’s always a nice drive out and SB is beautiful. So much so that Henry said that he expects any moment for someone to yell “cut!” everytime he visits.
The show clocked in at a little over three hours and felt like one. I noticed, and Henry pointed out, that he didn’t take one sip of water the entire time. He said that his fear is that he’ll look down to pick up his water and after he takes his drink, everyone will have left.
I met my friend Shyam for dinner at the venue at 6:30. We were both delighted by Henry’s Ronnie James Dio iMix that was played before and after the gig (Rainbow, Sabbath and solo). I was really hoping he’d talk about Dio (he is a big fan), but he didn’t mention him. I cranked Black Sabbath’s Mob Rules album all the way home.
Henry Rollins does a lot of things and travels to many places, on tour and off. It all makes for great storytelling. He discussed racism, homophobia, his gigs with Sons of Anarchy and Rupaul’s Drag Race. This was basically one long story framed around what he’s been up to since Santa Barbara last saw him in November of 2008. Within that, there were many interesting detours and segues. I’d heard a lot of the stories before but kind of like John Coltrane’s live performances, they’re never the same twice.
One highlight for me was an inspiring tale about giving last year’s commencement speech at Sonoma College. Henry is not a college graduate, but I bet he made more of an impact than 99% of commencement ‘speechifiers’. He took it extremely seriously and was moved by the energy and excitement that the graduates conveyed. You can read his speech here.
And the tour is still going so check for dates here. Whether you’re a fan or not, it’s not a show you should miss.
