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.

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
― example (crüt), Monday, 25 August 2014 19:50 (nine years ago) link
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
― difficult listening hour, Monday, 25 August 2014 19:57 (nine years ago) link
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.

The podcast has been pretty fun so far, kind of a throw back to his earlier talking records (Sweatbox, Human Butt, etc)
― chr1sb3singer, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 15:22 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, I guess you summed it up. But it was also a little creepy and off in that Rollins way (and I like Henry, he's just weird)

I was thinking to myself, I'd love to have a big room just so I could put a bunch of shelves up for my stuff. It would be cool to have it all laid out like that.

tbf, musician/spoken word/author/collector guy is exactly who I would expect to be hanging around shelves all the time. Next thing you know, they'll have a photo essay of librarians posing with books.
