If you happened to have seen Black Flag back in the days when the group performed with Henry Rollins as its frontman, you know just how intense the burly dude can be. Often shirtless, Rollins would scream his goddamn lungs out while madly stomping. He’d have a microphone chord wrapped around his arm like it was some kind of leash designed to keep him from attacking the audience. These days, Rollins has simmered down, though he channels his frustration into books, columns and spoken word shows. According to the press release for the current spoken word tour, which comes to Masonic Auditorium tonight at 8:30, Rollins will speak about "his latest L.A. experiences" and his "world travels." Should be entertaining. Tickets are $30 to $160. (Niesel)
