Punk Joins the Team

It's gratifying to know that even punk rockers have joined our great Establishment.

Henry Rollins, former lead singer of the hardcore punk rock band Black Flag, whose very name is the symbol of anarchy, recently visited Iraq on a USO tour, a tour must assuredly conducted by a dead Roman named Virgil.

Folly can only wonder if Rollins, who may in fact be the next Bob Hope, performed some of Black Flag's classic songs, such as "No Values," "Wasted," and "Revenge" accompanied by the army's orchestra band.

Perhaps on his next USO tour, Rollins can bring along Jello Biafra and Lee Ving. Maybe they can even dig up Sid Vicious; that is, if he isn't already somewhere in Iraq.
