From my Hotline column in today's Boston Herald: It’s rare we get the chance to eat the best (or certainly best-priced) cheeseburger in town while watching a punk legend perform.
But that’s Cambridge’s treat to us this evening, when former Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn squeezes into a corner of Charlie’s Kitchen and rocks out with his band, the Taylor Texas Corrugators.
It’s a cruel, cruel world when former Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins gets his own television show and just won’t fade from the public eye, while Ginn - the band’s primary songwriter - headlines a bar best known for its cheap eats and trivia night.
Then again, playing Charlie’s on a Monday is pretty punk rawk.
