Henry Rollins Voices IAVA Promo
Henry Rollins has had a long association with the outstanding organization Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA). They do fantastic work. It’s a shame that an organization like this has to pick up so much of the slack because the military and government aren’t doing enough to take care of returning soldiers. But thank goodness they do. One issue that really offends me is the medical discharge of soldiers on the basis of “pre-existing [and unspecified] personality disorder”. Which basically says to the soldier – there’s nothing about your experience on tour that has effected your mental health – you were fucked in the head to begin with. In most cases that is complete bullshit and is akin to telling a guy who had his leg blown off in a road side bomb that he had no leg before he went to Iraq.
Contribute to Hello Henry!
Dear Hello Henry Readers,
As some of you may or may not be aware, I’ve been undertaking post-graduate study on and off for the past few years. After a six month break I’ve returned to study this week to finish my PhD over the next 12 months (and no, it’s not a “PhD in Bullshit” although it certainly feels that way sometimes!). It’s only day two and already my coffee consumption has tripled (thanks to everyone who bought me a coffee btw, much appreciated!) and periods of time has been spent curled up the fetal position rocking back and forth mumbling about flying monkeys. Doing a PhD means stress 24/7, so if Hello Henry is going to continue with regular posts each week I’m gonna need your help!
If you spot anything weird and wacky on the internets (or anywhere for that matter) relating to Henry Rollins that would make a good Hello Henry post, please let me know! Simply drop me a line at hello AT hellohenry DOT com or send a message via the contact page. I have quite a few post ideas stored away already (some reader submitted, thanks to those readers, you know who you are!) but will need more to keep the blog kicking along for the next year. I don’t want to see this blog become inactive so I’ll be doing my best to keep the posts coming.
Thanks guys!
Henry Rollins on the Aussie Mullet
Hello to the Australian readers! Henry reckons the Aussie Mullet out does anything he’s seen in the States… that comes as a surprise to me!
And as for the He-Man hot pants… I give you Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Exhibit C:
Michael Jackson Dead at 50
Before I was corrupted by rock n roll, I was an MJ fan! For me he goes down as the most famous case of Body Dysmorphic Disorder that was apparently never diagnosed. It’s not every day a King of Pop dies, so here’s a video of the Jackson 5. And before any hipsters out there laugh, even Henry Rollins has given The Jackson 5 a spin on his radio show!
