3 Things To Do Today

Henry Rollins

8 p.m. at Vic Theatre; $26.50

Talk about an enigma. The burly Rollins has been a punk-rock frontman, a stand-up comedian, a spoken-word artist and much more during his eclectic, always entertaining career. Tonight’s show will be a fully seated, spoken performance, so be sure to get your head-banging in at home.

90 Years of Ravi Shankar

In recognition of Ravi Shankar’s birthday and the official launch date of his personal record label, East Meets West Music, the Chicago Cultural Center hosts an evening of film and music dedicated to the legendary Indian sitar master.
