So back in the 90's a WHFS (sigh...I miss HFS so much) DJ, I think Johnny Riggs, got threatened by Henry Rollins at the HFS-estival. He wrote a song about it "Henry Rollins is Going to Beat Me Up". Just some cheesy thing making a joke out of the situation, to which Rollins responded by threatening to sue WHFS. Ever since then, while I like Rollins, I've always figured the dude was a bit of humorless ass. Who doesn't realize that he's a humorless ass. Henry's mellowed a bit with age. I suppose he can be humorless still though I think he might know it just like he knows that he likes the sound of his own voice. Heh. Also given that Riggs went on to be convicted of possession of kiddie porn, I wish Henry had beat his ass into the ground and then wrote a song about it. ETA: And the role of Henry Rollins apologist today will be played by sardonic tart. ;-)

Y’all got me on a very enjoyable Henry Rollins kick, so I’m sharing the love (particularly with Narm who has a similar crush.) <3 So behold punk rock Henry, spoken word Henry, fun with Henry, sweet Henry, modern-day Henry And finally, the Henry I’d love to roll around with for a few years. I’m still kicking myself for not talking to him about a decade ago when we were staying in the same hotel and waiting for an elevator together. Why can’t the self-confidence of my 40s go with the body and face of my 30s? Oh life, you fickle little beyotch - you likely cost me a “I banged Henry Rollins like a screen door in a hurricane story”. Ha. Take notice guys. That is how you do middle-aged right. Good gracious.

Also relevant: younger Henry.I have to admit that I was anti-Henry for a long time because all the boys I knew were rabid fanboys, and slavered over him, Black Flag, the DC punk scene, and it was too much. I just ran screaming, and like kateln, I thought he was a humorless log, even though I'd forgotten about the Johnny Riggs thing. I forget what turned me back onto him, but it was probably something random, or perhaps someone who wasn't a swirly-eyed fan boy speaking in calm, reasonable tones. Also, on a completely Marge Simpson note, I wonder if I can convince Mr Chonies into a weights routine via Henry.

He will always get points in my book for being a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race and admitting that he thought some of the contestants were hot. Of course, for some reason I'm just amused in general that Henry and RuPaul are friends.

Having a giggle over a bit from Henry's old IFC show. He's wondering what the hell happened to Carrot Top's face which in and of itself isn't that entertaining (because I think at that point we were all wondering what happened to his face.) It's what Henry does with the breast implant that slays me. Tee hee.

I'd had to go google Johnny Riggs after this, I missed the whole "kiddie porn" thing, so now I do wish that Henry had beaten him up.
