There is no heaven for me and no hell. And certainly not any Karma.
Henry Rollins

The Ruts were a great punk rock band from England whose songs were as excellent as their time together was short.

Smart people make good choices. They dig science and say 'no' to the invasion of sovereign nations for the pleasure of corporations.
Henry Rollins
Image
The prison-industrial complex and the military-industrial complex are here with us and are multi-billion dollar enterprises. We can make more money off the kid in Compton if he's a criminal instead of a scholar. It's business.

I love being a storyteller. I love telling stories.

I do a lot of stuff for free anyway. Like a lot of people who you see who don't need money. Mick Jagger - he needs money? He just likes to go sing Satisfaction every night. If I wrote that song I probably would do it too.

The best revenge is to always survive yourself.
Henry Rollins

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 think we are in fact, losing free speech. We don't seem to care though. Many of us don't seem to notice. We will have to do a lot of work to bring back the American way to America.
