He’s a wealthy,white, heterosexual, and educated American,so what does the former Black Flag frontman still occupy to be angry approximately? Henry Rollins likes to talk. Actually, saying Rollins likes to talk is a bit like saying an anteater enjoys ants, or a boxer doesn’t mind getting into a punch-on. On top of countless books and a column in the LA Weekly,his spoken-word performances can run upwards of three hours. On average, he says, or he writes approximately 1000 words a day,a habit he describes as “dreadful, its just ridiculous”.
So it seems odd that a man with as much to say as Rollins could ever run out of lyrics but it happened. It was trippy, or ” he says. “I woke up going,‘Wow. Am I done? And I soberly assessed it and went ‘Damn. I’m done.’ And I stopped.” He phoned his manager to inform him and hasn’t written a song since. That was more than 10 years ago.
