Henry Rollins.

This past Saturday, 2/23/08, Henry Rollins came to Athens, GA on his spoken word tour "Provoked". Big Derrick an I made the trip up for the show and it was freakin' awesome! At 47 this guy is still kicking ass. He came out and talked for a little over 3 hours about everything. His trips, shows, views on government, music, people and Van Halen fans. Freakin' awesome stuff. It was funny, there's an internet discussion forum I check out occasionally and some "self proclaimed worlds greatest trainers and fat, fat-loss experts" were on there were slamming him cause' they don't like his show he hosts and calling him a pussy and a liberal, blah blah blah. It's so hip to slam him nowadays because he's "done the same thing for far too long". Why? Because he does what he wants and doesn't give a shit about what other people think? Whatever. He goes out and lives his life more honestly and with more fire and balls than most do. Like Henry says, "knowledge without mileage is bullshit." I've been a fan for a long time and it was awesome to finally get to meet him and shake his hand. Big Derrick was pretty stoked too. Good times!
