Henry Rollins - Sonoma State University Commencement Speech - Part 2 of 2

The eyes bulging out of the head of the professor to the immediate right of the lectern are absolutely priceless...

Thanks to the damn rain at the end of last May, this liberal, hippie, fruity, tree hugging, leftist, retarded, selfish, marxist campus gave us a cheap, screwed, and wet graduation ceremony out in the mud and puddles.

God DAMN! Every time I listen to something Henry says in any situation, anywhere, I wanna improve myself! :D

I wonder how many of those professors who are sitting behind Henry Rollins had the shock of their life when they looked his name up on the internet afterwards.

I also wonder if most of those students who voted for Rollins, to give them the acceptance speech, just wanted to see him in a gawn and a funny hat.

"Wouldn't be funny to have the Liar Guy up there and get all worked up and angry in that outfit?'

Great speech. Very inspiring.

However, he, like so many people, kept using "amount" when he should have used "number": amount of stuff, rice, meat, water, etc.  (things you measure or weigh) vs. number of things, apples, cans, etc. (things you count).

Also, the KKK reference is a bit cliche. How about talking about the racism of Aztlan.

He's right about war, but he didn't go far enough. Government=violence & war.

"There are few things more unendurable than being forced to spend time with someone who is intellectually incurious..."

Goddammit, he's a great writer! Wonderful speech.

Wow! The professors behind Henry were probably thinking this guy is wiser than they ever imagined.

[rrocketgrrl]

seeing as how time travel is not going to be possible in my lifetime, i will not look backwards, i will not lament and say, 'if only'. because, as henry said, "The future greets you today."

[muddy2]

fuckin awesome! That speech should be given to all schools.
