So ... I trotted down to see Black Flag Monday night at the latest,
local punk/hardcore venue (in Santa Cruz, Ca.) only to be greeted
by a sign on the door that says

	BLACK FLAG CANCELLED
	HENRY AND OTHERS SICK

What is this?! Have Black Flag become a bunch of snivelling, new
wave wimps, or what?!? Sick?!? What happened? Did they finally get
enough money to afford more drugs then were good for them or what?
Hey, this is supposed to be hardcore! Real hardcore bands don't get
sick, or if they do, they play anyway.a I mean, what's the world
coming to.

    If they're sick they can puke on the stage and enhance the show.
Isn't that the way of the hardcore punks?

Maybe they are just sick of Santa Cruz.
