UPDATE: Hon: Past, Present & Future

BALTIMORE, Md. - The Feral Scribe ("Chronicles of a Wayfaring Journalist") offers an interesting outsider's perspective on Baltimore and its "hontroversy," including a handful of quotes from Hon: Past, Present & Future.

Also, Welcome to Baltimore, Hon's Bruce Goldfarb (author of the notorious "Hon Manifesto") offers his take on the new issue.

And finally, those who missed last week's edition of local arts program The Signal, featuring a discussion of Hon: Past, Present & Future with editor William P. Tandy, can now listen to the podcast. Rounding out the line-up:

• Ron Tanner talks about his new illustrated novel, Kiss Me, Stranger. The book tells the story of a dystopian future plagued by civil war and environmental degradation… and believe it or not, it manages to be hopeful, tender, and downright funny.
• We talk to John Heyn, who co-directed the seminal rock-n-roll documentary Heavy Metal Parking Lot. The film is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
• And if you ask heavy metal misfit Terry Sapp, “What do you want to do with your life?” he’ll answer defiantly, “I wanna rock!” From the stage of The Stoop Storytelling Series, Terry tells the tale of his lifelong devotion to the screaming ball of hair that is Twisted Sister.
