Damn, I didn't realize Henry Rollins was so politically active. That's awesome. His stock just went vertical in my market. Good on you Rollins! :)

@RushNLV Bwhahahahahahaha You've been in the scene? Now that's fucking funny .. this really sheds light on this conversation. 40 years old and you're still worshipping lame celebrities like Henry Rollins? heh heh

[RushNLV]

@loafpork my aspirations have nothing to do with the conversation about henry rollins. I am not "Best friends" with henry rollins. this man has done alot with his voice unlike you posting negative comments about him throwing tiny little rocks at something much greater than you will ever be so maybe I can understand you whining a little but you're still an asshole trying to make this personal. I am almost 40 years old and have been in the scene alot longer than you he deserves his success period.

[loafpork]

@RushNLV Give me a break man... You know exactly how this man has been affected by his 'success' because you imagine yourself being best friends with this turd. I can tell this man doesn't really know shit.. he may mean well, but he's ignorant as hell. Look at his views about 'global warming'.. heh heh.. Ok, I give up, you're obviously an authority on the subject of Henry Rollins ... glad your aspirations have paid off for you.

[RushNLV]

@loafpork I agree, but nowhere in henry Rollins' life has this happened, his agenda has never changed and he has never changed as a result of money so it doesn't apply here.

[loafpork]

@RushNLV Money corrupts, and people's lifestyles and views on social issues tend to change once they're comfortable. The masses love to elevate mediocrity, it makes them feel better about themselves.

[loafpork]

@RushNLV Dude, I don't consider any of that what I was talking about. I'm not even a big fan of most punk music, but as far as the shit that was in vogue back then, I'd say they were the best quality. I don't really give a crap about any of these guys anymore... I'm just saying, Henry Rollins isn't that big of a deal. I'm sick of celebrity worship and people believing these assholes are enlightened just because they get air time. Go get some ideas of your own and quit worshipping idols.

[RushNLV]

@loafpork the dead kennedys are the real sell outs, cashing in on their name after they ousted jello biafra, who is the REAL dead kennedys. they haven't written ANYTHING since he left the band they are nothing but a pathetic cover band now. I love the Original DK's and it's sad how they have contradicted the very thing they were supposedly standing up for and believing in. nothing but two faced money grubbing hypocrites.

[RushNLV]

@loafpork by the way, henry rollins spent much of his career broke and being an "average joe" so how can you possibly paint him as a rich sell out? he worked his ass off for every penny he has and deserves it. You're just jealous that he can sell out huge venues and just get up and talk he is intelligent and exactly where he needs to be.

[RushNLV]

@RushNLV there is absolutely nothing wrong at all in making money in the music industry. Greg Ginn has not payed any members of black flag or many SST artists a penny in royalties so if henry rollins has something to say and makes a t.v. show there is nothing bad about it. He has always held the beliefs he is speaking of and has not strayed from what he believes in. If you dislike rollins so much, take yourself to a dead kennedys video which is equally as good. Rollins is the man, Bar none.

[loafpork]

@RushNLV Ha ha, done research.. yeah, like doing research on some burn out punk musician is so fucking important. Yeah, I know who Black Flag was, they were ok.. I thought the Dead Kennedys were more intelligent politically though not to mention more musical. The Rollins band was total crap and my guess is with that shithouse band, his movie/ television appearances, and his wannabe comedic stand up spoken world bullshit is where he gained most of his fame and fortune. He's a sell out.. fuck him
