I read Lawrence Henry's
stuff and just find myself nearly hypnotized by it. There's
just something about this guy. He's been around. He's dropped
out, blown-up, endured health problems, and come out the other end
with a boatload of wisdom, savvy, and cool stories. It's not huge
muscles, guns, or a way with the ladies. It comes from just having
been around, seen some things, taken some chances, and managing to
learn a few things along the way. In short, there have got to be a
lot of young guys looking at Larry H. as a source of retro male
cool.
I hate to embarrass you Larry, but you remind me of a great
scene from the largely forgotten Kevin Costner film
Revenge. Costner's character hooks up with a late middle
aged horse trader who is fighting his way toward one more
transaction and coughing up a lung every few minutes. The grizzled
old guy pushes his hair back out of his face, dons a pair of dark
sunglasses and asks Costner, "How do I look?" Costner replies,
"Like a survivor."
Damn straight. Read Lawrence Henry
and check out a guy who looks like a survivor and will entertain
the hell out of you telling you about it.
