I Can't Get Behind That

[sereneorange]

Via
Netflix Henry Rollins came into my home
tonight bringing Shock and Awe and of course, adoration and guffawing. He
did a 10-15 minute riff on Bush and that was beautiful. There was the
peppering of the whole show with images of his self abuse and the
acoutrement that are needed to safely get through it. He ended with his
invitation from Ben Folds (I heart Ben Folds almost as hard as Henry
Rollins) to join William Shatner and eventually Adrian Belew to record a
ranting song of Shatners called, "I Can't Get Behind That" I of
course had to go download the song while Henry was still in my DVD player
finishing up his story. Eight minutes later my dial up cranked out a song
for me. I was laughing so hard I felt a little faint. It was this very
George Carlinesque rant with the occasional interjection of the
ridiculously akward phrase, "I Can't Get Behind That". Just
beautiful. I saw there was a song on the album also with Amy Mann, Ben
Folds, and Shatner so I yoinked that one too. I love Ben and Amy, so I am
hoping when I wake up tomorrow my modem might have actually gotten the
whole song and I can listen to it on the train to work.

Ah, Henry. He's such a cool human being. But being a human being, he isn't as perfect as I wish he'd be.

I've been a Rollins fan for a long time, but a recent occurrence has lowered my opinion of him significantly.

In a radio interview last week on KLBJ-FM (Dale Dudley, mornings), Rollins was growing annoyed that the questions being asked by Dudley were based on year-old information. (Never mind that Rollins' own publicist had provided the info to the Angela, the show's producer.) Here's what followed:

Dale to Angela: "Why is the bio wrong? This sucks! Been here for seven years . . . "

Angela to Dale: "Just read what I highlighted, Dale! Read what I highlighted!!"

Rollins to all: "Boy, you guys are sure hitting them outta the park today."

Guest Comedian to Rollins: "Well, you were in a punk band. I'm sure you're used to chaos and confusion, things being messed up..."

Rollins to all: "Yeah...I'm a punk rock guy who messes it up. That's why I own three houses and make more money in a month than you'll make in a year."

Dale: "Thanks for calling, Henry. Good night."


Jeez. Arrogant much, Hank?

ooooooooohhh...that was rude. I can see that about him. He said something nasty about Rosie Odonell in his dvd I watched last night and I thought, "What did she do to piss him off." Maybe he was mean

I'm sick of so-called singers who can't carry a tune and all they do is talk. How easy is that? Um...I guess I can get behind that.
