I love how Henry holds his mic. Whether it's a hardcore show or an interview in a bookstore, it's all the same, he wraps the cord around his hand as if it will get ripped away in a circle pit.

I can see Henry as being fifty easy, not in a bad way but just the buffness and the grey hair, it works. But I can never see Thurston as being anything older than 30.

I have an unlimited amount of appreciation for Henry Rollins. I've been to one of his spoken word shows and watched countless videos of him talking, and he always makes me feel like we as a species are capable of making great changes in the world and taking control of our own fate. That kind of hope is priceless.

I met Thurston at Other Music back in early 2000s and he was the friendliest guy. Offered me his copy of AMM/Merzbow 12-inch and we briefly talked about Cecil Taylor. Big fan of both of these icons. Saw Rollins Band at the old 9:30 Club (Tool opened) and then at the first Lolapooza festival.

Rollins was generous to try to give Thurston Moore equal time here, seeing as how Thurston had basically nothing interesting to contribute.

Interesting how Thurston realizes Dischord made music worth getting and keeping and it lasted, when I first heard guitars such as SY and Dischord bands they all had that guitar sound, they could hear what they were playing and they played the guitars until they knock the strings out of tune kind of sound!

I like hearing stories, why does Henry and everyone have the need to restate their position trumpeting DIY, we know what goes along with DIY, so the lack of label cushion is irrelevant. So much self- aggrandizing really, saying he's interested in people, decided to travel which is a luxury 99%of the contemporary DIY crowd will never know.

what Henry should do if he wants to see reality closer to home is ask factory owners if he can hang around American car factories on the plants where men are working day in day out for years on ened for shit wages. Thurston should too but i doubt he would want to be exposed to that.

yes Henry congress sends soldiers to war, there are among them plenty of individuals who love killing , and other factors perpetuate war mongering, many soldiers want to engage in what they've been trained to do, destroy & occupy. fuck war, fuck soldiering, it's an individual choice, any person could make, so it's not a stretch to p\ut myself in the position of making this choice and I do not. No people enlisting, no armies to deploy.
