Okay, this is non-news

I had to laugh at the supposed newsiness of this article on CNN because the title, "Henry Rollins: 'I get angry about stuff'" barely qualifies as news. I mean, tell me something I don't know. You don't even need to be a Black Flag fan to know that. :-)

wellllll, the youngsters don't seem to know who he is! Or rather they didn't but they do now...

My cousin Dave (age 24) was feeling pretty self important when he said he had to "turn me on to this new guy Henry" and then another cousin Ben (well, second cousin) is in Iraq, is only like 21-22, heard his show somehow and was telling me about him...and how he LOVES him and his view of the war and the military and stuff...

Imagine their surprise when I said I already knew who Henry was... and imagine my surprise when I had to give this explanation twice in the course of a week! It was an odd feeling to have to explain how Henry was in a band before--from the old days--and a poet and all that...
it kind of made me feel a lot older...

but I also got a lot cooler in the cousins' eyes.....

Henry= "Sexiest Angry Man Alive"

Oh my. I should survey my young cousins and find out what is old to me is new to them.
