Henry Rollins – Punk Rock Hyenas

I’ve always gotten a kick out of Henry Rollins’ storytelling. He’s smart and he’s on top of things. I saw him once at Fun Fun Fun Fest (aka “Dust Fest”) 2011. He’s how I figured out Occupy Wall Street wasn’t “the revolution.”

He can also be really damn funny. What an introduction to acid… Thank goodness his “guide” was looking forward to another Black Flag album.

Henry Rollins speaking in Belgium on the misinformed, traumatized American tough guy.

I know some guys disliked this one based on the comments, but he’s being kinder to the tough guy crowd than I think they realize.

I kinda liked it as it pointed out something I’ve come to understand. Whoever tries to pick a fight with you is usually going through something.

A lot of us are packed full of traumas never confronted, pushed into the unconscious, where they unfortunately do not stay. If only we could figure out how to stop that trauma from turning into somebody else’s…
