I hope they make a movie about him. This guy is essentially the punk forrest gump.

He is really interesting. If you haven't read his books, you should check them out. He is also surprisingly easy to contact.

Story Is not done yet. Underground campaign, 2024 Henry Rollins for president! Now here me out before dismissing the idea.... Do a KZfaq search for "Henry Rollins for president" watch the video. Its a good place to start. And his whole life story is already on KZfaq. He's the right man for the job. He's a diplomat, he's traveled to every continent in the world(including Antarctica) and also went to military school... I know I know. He's not running for the job... But... The greatest leaders in history were the ones who were not searching for power, yet did the job because no one else could/would. Fact. Write in submission for Henry Rollins and help spread the idea. please! Anti -viral!!!!

If I remember correctly I saw Henry Rollins at Medusa's in the early 90s. I came expecting thrashing and left feeling philosophical and deeply impressed. He was so raw and yet so gentle. looks like he still is. most Americans are pretty decent people. It's time for us to come together. Don't let them divide us. Remember what George Carlin said. They're all in one big club and we ain't in it.

I also ended up watching that movie as i started aquainting myself with his works, pretty good, boring in some parts, but he did good in his role.

Just like everyone else, dealing with the pandemic. He hasn't been able to do the travelling and activities he's used to for the last couple of years, so he's going back over some of the older stories until he has something new to talk about it. We saw him live a couple of weeks ago and he does have a great story about the stalker who broke into his home.
