This piece seems to me like an allegory of oral tradition. Hard Rock is‚ after all‚ a legend to all the prison inmates‚ and his exploits can only travel by word of mouth.

Macbeth proclaims that he has never seen a day "so fair and foul." (Act 1‚ Scene 3‚ Line 38) This is reminiscent of the weird sisters’ statement in Act 1‚ Scene 1 that "fair is foul and foul is fair."
