Henry Rollins
So I got to interview Henry Rollins of Black Flag. (My friend Jake at Downtown Records got all excited about this, I should have known that he'd care, loving punk rock and all).
But Henry was a great guy. Good interview. Couldn't use most of it because occasionally he could get a little harsh (The things he said about George W. Bush's mama! It could make a sailor blush!) But here's a none Barbara bashing comment that got cut from the story from my notebook to you.
DB: What are some common perceptions, preconceived notions people have about you?
HR: They sometimes say you’re a very angry person. I go, “Bingo!” They always go I’m shorter in person. Nothing I can do about that. I stopped growing in 10th grade. They think I’m going to be some random idiot. Though I'm not a rock scientist I can handle my own. Some think I’m some weird drill sergeant, stamping out all day yelling at people.
