All that text moving? Should've. Hi, I'm prime anarchist, and this is the zine for the second week or so of March, Two Thousand and One. That was written by my new friend John Lord. He sent it to me a little while back, but I thought 267 would be the best issue to tuck it in. And after reading it a third or fourth time, I decided the very beginning was the best place of all to place it. For after all: WHAT'S IN A NAME? Well, "One Robin Don't Mean Spring." But two blizzards usually do, right? This takes me back to when I was about 9 years old, and May 8 was opening day for my Little League baseball team. The date sticks out in my mind because it was either the day I was "born" or/and it was [also] Mothers Day. And to top it off, there was not only a threat of being rained out, there was the notion that we were about to be SNOWED in! In May? You got it. I'm glad this year's blizzard came in February or March, know what I mean? Who wants to do "April Showers" and the "May Snow." You know that cold, wet feeling and a smell that can't articulate into english-language words that lingers the day before? Well I also remember a high fly ball when I was trying to be left-field instead of catcher. The thing came down and hit my glove like a bullet out of the chamber of a Columbine-third-shooter's missing gun. My hand felt like every bone shattered. It was about 28 degrees out. I remember the following year, Little League corporation (LLC?) passed a directive that there was to be no more practices during temperatures below 34 deg. But that was the following year. The damage had already been done. No, not physically. My uncle (a has-been who almost played for the Boston RedSox, but his dad made him go to college instead of wait out full recruitment by Boston, having only had the chance to play for the Pawtucket Red Sox) called me "sissy" and "pussy" because I cried that the ball made my hand hurt. C'mon Uncle, I was eight years old for cryin' out loud. I learned one of my most devastating lessons that day, May 8th. One it took me about 20 years to unlearn. Boys are(n't) supposed to cry. I guess what this is all about is me trying to tell people (men AND women, but especially you hardened, lonely island-of-a-human men out there...) if you need to cry both outside AND inside. Gush man. Don't be a fool. Cry your little you-know-what off if you need to. Get it out so your neck doesn't turn all red and you don't end up beating someone nearly to death, or picking up a gun and wasting someone. Do it now. Tomorrow is too late. Your rage can easily be your son's school shooting; trust me, it spreads like a Saturday Reagan radio address, or a Hitler BeerHall screaming match. Cry like a baby, cry like a big fat dweeb, cry like a lion who lost his mate. But cry if you need to. And this last 'graph of my column is a shoutout and greet to my new friends at Attic Bookstore. You know who you are. The Magnificant Seven. Because I'm tellin' ya. If it weren't for being able to cry, and St. Johns Wort, I'd of been dead 5 years ago. What I can't stand about VH-1?
