Saw him back in the day... have seen him present day. The guy has been around and seen the world in many ways that most of us have barely experienced.

Henry! Henry fuckin' Rollins! Nice to meet you!" And yeah. He could pretty much crush my hand or whatever at that point. It'd just be okay to make it that far. Also, HEY! BLACK FLAG! HOLY SHIT Y’know, I’d love to meet Henry Rollins, just so I could shake his hand and say, “HEY! Henry! Henry fuckin’ Rollins! Nice to meet you!”

And yeah. He could pretty much crush my hand or whatever at that point. It’d just be okay to make it that far.

Alas, it was not to be. Word has it that Greg Ginn showed up <i>in person</i> with a court order to shut it down. I finally get to see it!

At any rate, after listening to the interview I was so impressed that I can only say that my memory serves me wrong. On the interview, he relates the sad and horrifying story where he and a buddy were jumped in his house in Venice and the friend was murdered.

Rollins had a band that made a handful of great songs, and he has a terrific physique. And I have serious, SERIOUS respect for his work ethic. But everything I've read by him has been utterly trite and forgettable rage against LaMachine. Please, no. Rollins had a band that made a handful of great songs, and he has a terrific physique.
