@jameze714 He hasn't been given any special status. The interviewer asked him a question, and he answered it honestly.

Henry really is a Grade A human being. A truly enlightened individual who "gets it."

Thanx Henry, successful people with notirioty like yourself can really inspire everyone within movements like this.

@SchmedleyDoRight It was just a simple comment. Seriously though, "ageism"? How does my idolization translate into me being looked at with "Prejudice or discrimination on the basis of a person's age". I'm 25 meng. Disempowerment? We're a speck of dust floating in space. Key phrase: COLLOQUIAL EXPRESSION! Your comment is very "slippery slope" and ad-hominem; in turn, YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID. Did'did'did you know, that Henry Rollins reads BOOKS!?

The reason why so many people like Rollins, is that he pulls no punches and tells you EXACTLY what he thinks, doesn't sugar coat it and doesn't care if you like his opinion or not. People like him are rare, he possesses honesty and forthcoming, traits which use to be admired by many but now only by a few.

I enjoyed this very much. He seems reluctant to talk but you said, "two questions" and he answered them really well. Nicely done.

This winter has diminished the movement but the spring and this years campaign will bring it back. I hope as he does that the candidates are forced to talk about the issues this movement has raised.

I also like, the Liquid Liquid Comp. and Stakes is High on the wall.

Wow Rollins. After 3 years in office and no change, you still like Obama?

@SilverNrGy985 Everything Zen by Bush?

This clown is a FAN of Obama and blames Fox news? What a fucking TOOL! Hank, thanks for ruining Black Flag, try educating yourself on economics retard. Obama and his central bank masters threw more money at Wall Street than any other President in history, Bush, Obama, Gore, Kerry, Juan McCain, Pelosi, Reid, Newt, Romney are ALL ON THE SAME TEAM you fool!
