Guilt Units/Henry

September 22, '98

From The Henrys:

Firstly, a final notice to ye Henfans in the greater New York area that we'll be at the Bottom Line on Friday night, 7:30 and 10:30. Blue Rodeo called in sick, but the Hens - smack dab in the middle of our 3-city megatour - are ready to rock.

Secondly, in case you're interested, we've posted a few reviews of our new CD on the ole Hensite.

And finally, this bit intelligence from a friend: "The "personality" of a [speaker] cable is determined by three basic electrical properties: resistance, capacitance, and inductance. Resistance is probably the smallest factor, because cables use good conductors (copper and silver). The real culprits in cable transmission are capacitance, measured in picofarads or pF (trillionths of a farad) per foot, and inductance, measured in microhenrys (millionths of a henry) per foot." Man! So they've found a way to put blame on one-millionth of ONE Henry. No wonder we feel sorry for ourselves all the time! If you take that little bit of blame, multiply it by a million/Hen, and there are 6 of us on Friday at the Bottom Line, and about 50 feet of speaker cable, that's 350 million culprit units up there.

Well EXCUSE US if we're not smiling our heads off on stage all the time! Last week at Harbourfront some guy said the drummer was the only one of us who looked like he was having fun. Another clown said two of the Hens looked like they were coming from a crash site. YOU try performing under 350 million guilt units. That's some serious guilt being thrown around.

Next letter: "Borderline Thinking"
