Texas is as odd as it is vast.
Henry Rollins

There is a lot to say about what Bikini Kill and other 'riot grrrl' bands were able to achieve when they first set out. They were not some momentary, convulsive, creative spasm of independent music. There was a very real, relevant point of view being expressed.

I don't cuss in songs. It's too easy.
Henry Rollins

When you put yourself in environments that continually test you, that's where all the good stories come from. That's where the jokes come from is from the shitty parts.

I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to tour with the Beastie Boys and watched almost every set they played on all those dates. Why not? You do your set and then you get to see the Beasties play? Best deal in town.

Technically speaking, there is no music whatsoever on a CD. Lots of information, but no music.

Try driving the streets of Los Angeles without seeing a billboard depicting a film with a lead actor holding a gun. It's almost as if guns are harmless props used to bring out the cheekbones and jawline of the screen star.

After... The seas have dried out The trains have come to a shrieking holt The hounds of the abyss cease to howl The prisons have closed their doors The pigs have no one to arrest except themselves The drugs no longer have an effect When it's all over All I'll remember is you

I don't want to play old music. To me, it is fighting battles that are already over and calling yourself a warrior. For me, I see no courage or adventure in doing the old thing over again. If others want to, that's for them. For myself, I have to move on. Life is too short to live in the past. There is a lot to be done.

I have lived in public as a somewhat recognizable person since I was a teenager. Emails I answer end up posted on sites pictures of me and someone I just met, taken by a cellphone, literally number in the thousands and are easily accessed.

The blues is losing someone you love and not having enough money to immerse yourself in drink.
Henry Rollins

Humans will take a rain forest and lose it and cover it with concrete. They will take the woods and turn it into a parking garage and I am not saying that's bad. I am just saying that's what we do. We occupy the planet with a vengeance. We seek to dominate it.

You can pass all the gun legislation you want. None of it will make me feel any more or less safe than I do right at this moment.

Creativity requires a lot of pass/fail/start again and it is often hard on the psyche.
Henry Rollins
Image
I am afforded a bit of easy wonderment in relative comfort as to how humans have lasted so long. Climate- and geography-wise, the planet seems to have little use for us.

I don't need to have my convictions confirmed by a show of numbers. However, being among people in front of a band leads me to believe that all is not lost, that humans, now and then, can communicate on a higher level than the political and the practical.

All I can do is just do stuff while I am alive and hopefully that track record will speak for itself.

Youths write me and tell me that their band will go nowhere because of all the bad bands in the world. I tell them there has always been awful music and that no great band ever wasted any time complaining, they just got it done. Their ropey ranting is just a way to get out of the hard work of making music that will do some lasting damage.

I love being a storyteller. I love telling stories.

Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.
