Henry Rollins: Keep Talking, Pal

Wow. I would've never predicted it.

Always an edgy character who pushes the emotional envelope, frontman for leading 80s hardcore punk group Henry Rollins has finally maxed out, lost his way over the hill.Without giving away too much- he suggests that we should replace men with women in jobs, 75/25 ratio- where 'killing sprees may be necessary.' He justifies almost every aspect manifest in the far left right now- quite sad to see such a strong figure in the fight for free expression tuck his tail, caving in for smug hipsters and self-deprecating academics. Of course I expected him to rage against Trump, and the establishment- I just didn't expect him to kneel to the intellectual half of it, especially the half who's done the most recently to restrict free speech and alter due process.

One of those moments where it makes sense for some folks to just go back and get normal jobs after their careers in entertainment have peaked- otherwise what they do for attention ends up being mind-numbingly hypocritical and pathetic. There is dignity in being just like anyone else, but being able to mantain your dignity.

Henry's delivery and structure is truly incredible but he's clearly a product of his generation and the media supplying its ideas. It's quite a shame.

The first ten minutes or so Rollins talks about his musical career and street cred. Then he dives off the cliffs pandering to the liberal audience about women who make harassment allegations 40 years later being the true heroes, and how the most dangerous evil in the USA is white people. Just drop it in like a fact, and then stay on that course hating on whites?

Rollins does not make any jokes, so it was not funny. He may be trying for humor, but he is not humorous. Just some guy talking politics and hate. Rollins preps for his show at all the bars he mentions in his rant, as just another opinionated loudmouth bar bum with stinking beer breath.

I watched this again recently, and was impressed again by how smart, and open this guy is. He's a pleasure to listen to, and entertaining, and says some surprising things.

He's so entertaining, that the time passes quickly while listening to him.

Looking at him, and knowing that he. Started as a punk rocker, I might have simply assumed that he was a meathead - but he seems intelligent, and might even be a better speaker than Kevin Smith.

It's funny to read the outraged reviews written by dumb conservatives who are made to feel so uncomfortable by his 'liberal' opinions. And I don't think I'm betraying any spoilers to describe the delight he takes in replying to homophobes who assume that he is gay because he was seen out with RuPaul. He describes how he toys with the bigots and rocks their world by shocking them with witty replies that he knows they won't be able to handle.

Sorry "Just Johnny" but stick to music or your one line acting career. You're not funny in any way, you have no comedic talent. Stay in your own lane, pal.
