Henry Rollins • FridayStaff Picks Peter Vancini

Rollins has been many things since his days as the frontman for Black Flag: author, actor, and radio/TV host, to name a few. He takes to the stage these days for what he calls “talking shows,” spoken word performances with commentary on culture and politics, as well as anecdotes from a life well lived. The result is funny, insightful, and damn entertaining. He’s coming to the Academy of Music Theatre this Friday on a four-plus month tour of nearly daily shows. Oct. 28, 8-11 p.m. 274 Main St., Northampton. $25-$35. — Peter Vancini
