Henry Rollins? Somebody educate me: WHY is this dude famous? I used to think he was a singer @ one point... then a poet or something... Now I'm seeing him on IFC hosting "Henry's Film Corner".
I know I could just look him up but feel free to shed some light on who this dude is & why he seems to have his fingers in every facet of the arts (or so it seems)... 
I DO like the fact that he's reviewing I Robot & saying it SUCKS!!   He calls the robots "man-bitch cartoons" 
. [Edited 1/23/05 2:44am]   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

I've been in love with him 4ever!

HR is definitely an interesting man. I wouldn't call myself a fan but I do follow him a bit. Don't care too much anymore for the music he puts out lately, but he was a pioneer back in the day. He's pretty outspoken about almost everything, sometimes that's funny and I respect that! | |

. [Edited 1/23/05 2:44am] Henry Rollins - brief history: 1). Lead singer with seminal/infamous LA hardcore punk band, Black Flag. Key albums: Damaged, My War, Slip It In, Who's Got The 10 1/2? 2). Solo performer with Rollins Band, largely mining the same metal/punk musical seam as Black Flag, although there have been forays into funk/rock/jazz. Live shows are all exceptionally intense. I've never seen a bad Rollins Band gig, despite line-up changes galore and sometimes indifferent or hostile audiences. I've been going to his gigs since 1988. Key albums: End of Silence, Weight, Hard Volume 3). Rollins is more popular - commercially - as a spoken word performer. He's exceptionally funny, in the Bill Hicks/Dennis Leary vein, only without the toxins. Rollins espouses clean living and pumping iron. Key album: The Boxed Life, Get In The Van 4). Rollins is also an author of numerous self-published books, which are mostly in the form of tour diaries. These are hit and miss, but Get In The Van, his Black Flag tour diary and a book called Unwelcome Songs about the early days of the Rollins Band are well worth the stretch. Rollins is an acquired taste. I love him. Go to www.21361.com. and http://members.cox.net/_rollins for further info. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

Black Flag is awesome. Solo Henry Rollins is a'ight. And he's easy on the eyes.  | |

I'm a big fan of Rollins myself, unfortunately I've never been able to catch him live. Have any of you heard his "duet" with William Shatner (called 'I Can't Get Behind That', from Shatner's CD "Has Been")? It's pretty damn cool! If I want your opinion, I'll beat it outta ya! | |

No, the "acting" is his weak spot. Very one dimensional. Stick with the humour. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

I don't think Rollins has ever been recorded playing an instrument, and I don't think he's written any of the music on his albums. He leaves that to others. There are three sides to every story.

LIAR
You think you’re gonna to live your life alone In darkness And seclusion Yeah I know You’ve been out there Tried to mix with those animals And it just left you full of humiliated confusion So you stagger back home And wait for nothing But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back out onto the street And now you’re desperate And in need of human contact And then You meet me And you whole world changes Because everything I say is everything you’ve ever wanted to hear So you drop all your defenses and you drop all your fears And you trust me completely I’m perfect In every way Cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside You feel so lucky But your ego obscures reality And you never bother to wonder why Things are going so well You wanna know why? Cause I’m a liar Yeah I’m a liar I’ll tear your mind out I’ll burn your soul I’ll turn you into me I’ll turn you into me Cause I’m a liar, a liar A liar, a liar I’ll hide behind a smile And understanding eyes And I’ll tell you things that you already know So you can say I really identify with you, so much And all the time that you’re needing me Is just the time that I’m bleeding you Don’t you get it yet? I’ll come to you like an affliction And I’ll leave you like an addiction You’ll never forget me You wanna know why?
