Boston.com - From left, Red Sox chairman Tom Werner, Henry, Sox vice chairman David Ginsberg, and nightclub owner Ed Kane stopped at a Beverly hot dog stand prior to Henry’s wedding ceremony.

With all this John Henry wedding hoopla in the news I found myself getting ready to bash him again. I was going to criticize him for playing “Shipping off to Boston” as the first song at the reception since he’s only lived here for a couple years. I was going to make fun of him for trying to keep the details of his 3rd wedding silent even though a couple months ago he did that huge spread in Boston Magazine about it. I was going to rant and rave about how he should quit acting like he’s Boston’s favorite son when he’s actually just a creepy carpetbagger. But then something changed. I saw the picture of him standing outside some hotdog joint in Beverly with his wedding party. And then it hit me. John Henry didn’t know any of these guys five years ago. Think about that for a second. That means for the first 54 years of his life he didn’t make 1 friend who he felt was close enough to be in his wedding. That’s just plain sad. Maybe now it makes more sense why he’s embraced Boston so much and tries to make it seem like he grew up here. Because it appears this is the only place he has any roots or history.   And as crazy as this sounds I’m not sure I’d trade all his fame and fortune for not having any real friends. So from now on I’m going to go easy on Dr. Creepy. The guy needed a home and he found one in Boston. Good for him I guess….
