I don't always agree with Henry, but when he speaks, I just have to listen

Re: I don't always agree with Henry, but when he speaks, I just have to listen

I agree about parts of it but again, when musicians start telling other musicians and fans that they are stupid and what they like sucks, I don't see an upside. For my taste, most punk sucked. Artists aside, musicians... I assumed...could play and sing.
Most punk people I know get bitter in their old age...and rarely improve musically.
YMMV.

My sentiments exactly, while Henry has some pretty notable achievements, I don't see how he has the chops to be criticizing others.

Reminds me of when Keith Buckley from ETID had his Warped Tour rant a few years back, his complaint was that the younger bands were attracting larger crowds at a tour that typically caters to a younger audience. Does not compute IMO.

Yeah, don't care that much about what he says, it's just the way he says it. Always makes me laugh.
1:17 "I tried to help. We played really loud, you coulda listened..."

Done a couple of "Spoken Word" shows with Rollins. He's nothing if not sincere.

I'd like to live in Henry's world of vibrant local and regional live music scenes (even if I don't always care for the music).
