Judging by the way 74-year-old rapper Blowfly (Clarence Henry Reid), who was decked out in a sparkling jumpsuit with his initials emblazoned on the front, gingerly walked to the stage last night at the Beachland Tavern, you wouldn’t think the guy was capable of a solid performance. And yet, he certainly delivered the goods in an entertaining, expletive-filled hour-long set that was likely the most irreverent Father’s Day event in town.
