Title: Who is Henry Rollins??
Post by: Jr. Yates on October 05, 2006, 03:09:33 PM

He is a musician and a spoken word artist.  He first became well known by fronting legendary L.A. hard core band Black Flag.  He then began working as an author and public speaker.  He founded the Rollins Band after Black Flag broke up.  They are still together today.  He has also had a collection of miscellaneous acting and TV jobs and currently hosts The Henry Rollins Show on IFC.

Very cool guy.  Certainly influential as a counter culture contemporary thinker.

On one of his shows he was going off about Arnold Schwarzenegger being governor of CA.  He described bodybuilders as being roided up meatheads or something to that effect...  It was in relation as to why Arnold is not qualified to be in office.  Needless to say my boyfriend and I were a little disappointed, as we are fans of his and normally like what he has to say.    :-\

Yeah, we were surprised, because he is into weightlifting.  He even wrote about it.  I can't find the original but here is a link to another forum that published it, if you are interested.

Was board the other night so i put in "jackass" the 1st Movie. Steve-O decides to get a tatoo of a smiley face while riding in a hummer down a set of mogols. And to my surprise the driver was Henry Rollins. I couldn't believe the coincedence because just a few hours earlier i started this thread. Now i know who he is.

He used to be in the band Black Flag (i don't think they like the band Adam ANT thus the name "Black Flag" or something like that) and then started the Rollins Band...good 80's music.

I thought Rollins used to be addicted to heroin back in the early 90's then he got into working out his neck after he got 'clean' and such

'Liar' is a song  by the Henri Rollins Band, with the lyrics: "you're a liar!".  A pity you missed the pun ;D ;D

After the song Liar I was a true fan of the Rollins Band..


You think youre going to live your life alone
In darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
Youve been out there and tried to mix with those animals
And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
So you stagger back home and wait for nothing
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets
And now youre desperate and in need of human contact
And then you meet me and yur whole world changes
Because everything I say is everything youve ever wanted to hear
So you drop all you defenses, Im perfect in every way
cause I make you feel so strong and so powerfull inside
You feel so lucky
But your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to
Wonder why things are going so well
You want to know why?

cause Im a liar, yeah, Im a liar
Ill tear (rip) your mind up, Ill burn your soul
Ill turn you into me, Ill turn you into me
cause Im a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...

Ill hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
And Ill tell you things that you already know so you can say:
I really identify with you, so much
And all the time that youre needing me is just the time
That Im bleeding you, dont you get it yet?
Ill come to you like an affliction then Ill leave you like an addiction
Youll never forget me... wou wanna know why?

I dont know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
Maybe its something inside, maybe its something I cant explain
cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
Im a liar, ooh, Im a liar
But if youll give me another chance I swear Ill never lie to you again
cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
Theyre stronger than truth
I cat believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again
Please, just give me more chance, Ill never lie to you again, no,
I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will neer tell a lie, no, no
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! sucker! sucker! sucker!

I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar
I lie you, I feel good, I am a liar, yeah
I lie x4 ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie
Im a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I like it, and again
I like it again and Ill keep lying, Ill promise
