    I hope they make a movie about him. This guy is essentially the punk forrest gump.

    This dudes lifestory is enough to fill numerous volumes. If you're not aware of how insanely busy this man keeps himself with a very wide range of travels and talents, look into him, a modern renaissance man in our midst.

    If I remember correctly I saw Henry Rollins at Medusa's in the early 90s. I came expecting thrashing and left feeling philosophical and deeply impressed. He was so raw and yet so gentle. looks like he still is. most Americans are pretty decent people. It's time for us to come together. Don't let them divide us. Remember what George Carlin said. They're all in one big club and we ain't in it.

    I met Henry in '95 at Geffen Records in NYC. He is easily the most intense person I've ever met. Love you Henry!

    Wrote him a letter from rehab once and he was kind enough to write a quick reply back that really gave me some strength for awhile there. Words mean things. Acid's a hell of a drug :)

    Wow, I had no idea Henry did standup comedy and, more importantly, that he's funny as heck!
  • I had no idea that this man was a comedian. I saw him in the movie called "He never Died" and ended up liking him alot.
  • @nomad1517
    Very underrated, and that's an understatement.

    Absolutely love Henry Rollins 🌟 My childhood icon 🖤
  • @godspeeq
    i never expect that Henry Rollins can be so funny.
  • @NovianLeVanMusic
    He stars in a movie called He Never Died. Highly recommend watching!
  • @hamiltonrmcato
    Man, first time I saw him perform this story must have been twenty years ago! He also has a great one about him and the band in Bangkok

    If you haven’t watched He Never Died, I highly recommend it.
  • @gnlilu6972

  • @ElHolyBoy
    I worked with him briefly. He is, very polite.

    Being on acid on the beach is exquisite
