don't you have to be over 4 foot 8 to have a Twitter

goddamnit henry, stop being so dramatic. either make twitter your bitch or shut the fuck up.

In all fairness, he was likely doing pushups when he tweeted that.

Pushups with one arm, typing/texting with the other.

that's why he's on Vh1 it's for ADULTS

relevant tweet re life being too short for "sissy boys writing namby pamby songs about girls they never had in the first place": https://twitter.com/henryrollins/status/70739869713960960

No, he's off to see Dinosaur Jr.

REAL MUSIC

xxxp watching VH1 is a pretty good way to stay angry

If the Twitter feed is to believed, he is in India or somewhere making snake/bug documentaries for National Geographic

woah

:D

ahahahaha

Go to his vimeo page - some of the other videos are hilarious. There's one where his assistant has drawn sideburns on him in an effort to encourage him to grow them out.

Loved this guy as the psycho coach in Jack Frost

what else has he been in

1,000,000 music documentaries

he's a cop in lost highway

Johnny Mnemonic

He's a cop in The Chase as well.

He plays a very tiny role as muscle in Heat.

Most recently he's been a white supremacist on Sons of Anarchy

I like Rollins, though he is pretty weird and always has been.

This makes me like him less but we were all young once!

as someone who has struggled with depression pretty much my entire teenage + adult life, i am pretty sick of people FREAKING OUT that henry rollins wasn't being 100% nicey-nice about suicide

a lotta people responded as if he were a cruel and clueless happy instead of a person who kept himself alive a certain way imo

but idk, i wouldn't have written that piece

i said this on the robin williams thread, but as much as i hated that original piece, his apologies seem sincere in a way apologies rarely do now.

The problem, for many, was not that his views as first expressed were not "nicey-nice," it's that they were uninformed. In response to the furor he has a new column in which he says in part:

As you might imagine, I got a few letters about my recent column about suicide. Actually, it was a lot of letters. For days. I read them. No matter how angry or instructive, I appreciate them all because they were written with complete sincerity, even if some had only two words, the second being “you.”

After reading carefully and responding as best I could, it was obvious that I had some work to do in order to educate myself further on this very complex and painful issue. I am quite thick-headed, but not so much that things don’t occasionally permeate.

In the piece, I said there are some things I obviously don’t get. So I would like to thank you for taking the time to let me know where you’re coming from. None of it was lost upon me.

I cannot defend the views I expressed. I think that would be taking an easy out. I put them out there plainly and must suffer the slings and arrows — fair enough. I won’t attempt to dodge them. However, that doesn’t mean that I can’t be taught a thing or two. I have no love for a fixed position on most things. I am always eager to learn something. I promise that I will dig in and educate myself on this and do my best to evolve. Again, thank you.

i'm just enraged that my friends are STILL linking to the 900th wave of thinkpieces that have emerged from this

oh i hadn't even seen that followup, yeah.

This state has made me have to do things in a certain way to remain operational.

anyway yeah i get it crut fuck writing tbh

crut totally otm

I get that Rollins has to get R Lee Ermey on his ass sometimes to get himself thru the day but his comments were still insensitive

Henry spent a lot of time in The Shed

i'm just enraged that my friends are STILL linking to the 900th wave of thinkpieces that have emerged from this

feel like we're at peak thinkpiece-economy, at some point general exhaustion has to settle in, no?

hmm, good point - have 3000 words in for me on the subject by breakfast.
