HAPPY BIRTHDAY HENRY ROLLINS!!!!
hank is now 49....1 year shy of a half century. rollins cannot be stopped.
MY TOP 5 FAVOURITE ROLLINS MOMENTS OF HIS FIRST 49 YEARS:
1 - biting the head off a toad while playing with the flag (as told in get in the van)
2 - the gap ad (anyone remember this??)
3 - beer can to the head on youtube (ouch!!!!!!!!)
4 - interview where he gets freaky on a 13 year old hxc kid (stevenson gets wild too)
5 - the chase (rollins the cop, remember that??)
get in the van is my bible.
ReplyDeletemy favorite moment(s) are the many in which he accidentally shows the public that he is an American Tapes addict due to the inability of Ebay sellers to maintain anonymity.
ReplyDeleteI mean whatever, no matter how you cut it: it's pretty fucking cool this dude is obsessed with that stuff.
Great RHCP cameos in The Chase too.
ReplyDeleteThree comments in a row: ouch.
ReplyDeleteOne of my old projects played with the Black Flag "band" that Rollins did for the West Memphis 3 a few (many) years ago. My sister really wanted me to get a promo photo of him from the Chase off Ebay and bring it to the show for him to sign.
He was nice by the way, ultra brief. Had more weight lifting to do before their set. (not joking). Keith Morris was there and did some of the early songs too.
weight lifting before the set!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteamazing!
i'm such a megafan that just the fact the he played my band on his radio show over a year ago remains a highlight of my life.
(yes , i have a rather dull life)
Look at the fourth picture! He's an Einstürzende Neubauten fan!

ReplyDeletesuch bull // we live the lives others dream of. (aka: for the most part, doing what we want to).
true , but doing what i wanna do involves lots of staying home with the cats and a cuppa tea.
