Geez, a piece on Kind of Blue turns into an argument on Rollins credibility? FWIW, he is very knowledgeable on jazz, classical, blues etc - just cos he was in a punk band doesn't mean he doesn't understand anything more than a distorted power chord. To say he doesn't have the importance to comment on jazz because he used to be in a punk band is like saying Norman Mailer shouldn't comment on boxing because he's a writer.

Can you please link me to evidence of him being a bigot? If not, shut up making idiotic claims just because you think "he's a sellout, maaaaan!" alot of people like myself and JoyGrenade happen to like what he does and respect the guy alot.

I heared Bill Evans' Peace Piece was an inspiration for this album..

Why does a supposed straight guy like Henry mostly date know Lesbo's? Atleast guys like Cruise/ Dicaprio/Oprah and Tom Brady have the gull to hire Beards. Henry's ego is so large he throws it in front of our faces and then calls us names when we call him out. I believe it was one of the Johnny Knoxville guys who got drunk and said that Henry was a little light in the loafers. lol

[BENCHIPED]

No. The guy is a known phony. He once went against Howard Stern thinking he was some kind of voice. Howard let his ego think he was really someone but behind the scenes, This guy is a joke.

[BENCHIPED]

Just a truth seeker bro. That is all. If Rollins was a jew I would give him a pass because they run everything. But the fact that he isn't, means that he needs to be called out so others can move forward. Get my drift.

lolz

What did Rollins say that was so amazing,miles put out a lot of records??? Omg news flash TY ROLLINS FOR POINTING THAT OUT!!!!! I really think Rollin's is a no talent thats just wanting to feel like his opion means something. Oh yea i like how he says ALMOST all of them are amazing lolollol.

[Jerdna3]

I have no beef with henry rollins commenting on the album, but they edit it so that he basically doesnt get to say anything. He mentions that its a classic and lists some of the musicians on it...why even bother having him on there then?

You know, somebody have to be the best, and Miles is the best, ask these guys, they will tell you the same :)

[gosfordbrewboy]

Fairpoint, he doesn't really say much apart from telling us who the sax players are though(!) I've seen him on TV before and he just came across (to me) as a massively pretentious twat.
