Rollins was awesome! A 2.5 hour non-stop set of him just telling stories and talking about current events and just, you know, Rollins being Rollins. Some awkward moments, but he masterfully played the crowd regardless of individual ideologies and kept us all rolling right along with him down every tangent. I recognized a couple stories from earlier incarnations he'd told last year, but with adjusted contexts and different setups it was interesting to see the material in development. I had a blast, and was wicked thrilled that my friend Diana was able to join me again :-)

If you're talking about Henry Rollins I went to see him talk last year with my boyfriend. Totally hilarious and amazin.. wish he had more Black Flag stories as those were the funniest!! Glad you enjoyed it!

I loved it, second time in 2 years I've seen him. I love the Black Flag stories, but almost more than that I love his travel stories to places like Haiti, North Korea, Tibet... all the real off the beaten path stories where he illustrates just how much of what we hear about a lot of places is bullshit, while a lot is true as well, but you just have to experience it for yourself.
I get into a lot of the same discussions with people when I talk about going out into iraqi villages with people... everyone has these preconcieved notions about the people and their attitudes... and more often than not you find yourself surprised. smile
My favorite quote by him- "Knowledge minus experience equals bullshit".
