Henry Rollins Frequent Flyer Tour on Tuesday, June 22nd at the Bing Crosby Theater
Why couldn’t of Henry Rollins been my History or World Studies teacher in High School or College? The subjects might have stuck a little better and been a hell of a lot more interesting.
We sat in the beautiful golden Bing Crosby Theater tonight to see as Henry Rollins. If you have seen Henry’s spoken word you get it; you know exactly what I mean when I say it is attention grabbing, intelligent, sexy (even for almost 50), hilarious, and shocking.
Normally at show’s I go to my pen is constantly translating my thoughts to my Mead memo pad, however tonight Henry was stuck in my mind. I could barley take notes because I was engrossed with him. I don’t think I have ever paid this much attention to someone talking; I can last about an hour and a half but, we listened to Henry for almost three hours. I listened to every word that fell off his lips.
He is so fascinating; traveling the world including places we are even afraid to talk about, his love with the constitution, his humor, and opinions. He is a “Rated G Boy Scout Samurai.” Tonight was everything from Rupaul, to Constance McMillen’s story, the Constitution of South America that was adopted in 1996, Nick calling Obama a Monkey, to spreading his DNA, to the TV show Sons of Anarchy. It was a little bit of everything and it never got boring or old. Though I was glad he gave our asses back to us at the end of the night.
I want everyone to see Henry Rollins at least once, I think he prefers that you want to see him every night including on Thanksgiving however turkey is quite delicious. If you haven’t made it to see him I think he has 250 plus shows every year so really you have no excuse. Learn more about Henry Rollins here.
Final memo as Henry said “more pizza & the Ramones… life would be better.”
