Thanks 4 posting. Henrys the man. Greg is underrated. He seems like a nice guy who was actually interested all of this. Greg's awesome for this. Henrys awesome for ....a lot f things.
so, tell me, what the fuck did you ever contribute to the hardcore/punk scene compared to rollins? i really, really want to know. you must have some really good stories to tell...
When I think of Punk Rock, there are two people who that defied the mold. Henry Rollins and Jello Biafra. Two guys that were way smarter than the label thrown on them.
I would agree with this version of Henry. Listening to some of his more recent interviews, it sound less like "F the man", and more like "sure thing, sir".
The timing does seem pretty pre-meditated, doesn't it? But I think Rollins did a great job of responding and I'm lad the question was asked. I don't advocate people inflicting pain on themselves, but I can relate to it. We've all done it, just maybe not in the same form. Sadly, I think a lot of people aren't going to get Henry's point no matter how long he would have talked about it.
okay i would like to retract my last comment. Now that i watch this more it seems like Greg was just being a typical TV friendly interviewer. He should not have read THAT passage from Henry's book because Henry didnt have a chance to really explain what it all meant. HOW DO YOU explain that on regular national television in (what seems 2 B ) less than a minute?
excellent interview, henry's interesting. I do think he would have committed some crimes, however, if you play in a rock band you've probably broken noise regulations somewhere, sometime. Not that he deserved the gun in his eye. When I see people drinking coffee on these shows, I keep thinking what if they put LSD in the coffee
