UPDATE: Ok.. this video seems to be causing quite a stir. What you don’t see before the video starts is a girl being super annoying while Rollins is trying to sign people’s stuff. According to a commenter on the video’s YouTube page “She was being annoying and seeking attention. Henry lured her into his bus so he could come back out and talk to the fans without her bothering everyone.” Hope that puts things into context for y’all!
Footage by johnnypung: “this is video i took in Orlando a couple years ago. Its a little dark yet amazing! a must watch as Rollins surprises an annoying girl and gives me a little personal video footage!”
I don’t know whether to be jealous or appalled.
*looks at the above comment…*
how about both!? how come the crazy slut girls get the breaks!!!!
So thats how you get touchy time with Henry Annoy him until he has to physically remove you. Hummmm… Note to self learn to never to be vapid and act drunk.
I can’t act that slutty for anyone – not even Hank.
I’ll bet you a million bucks that when this girl woke up from her drunken state, she told everyone “Henry was talking to me and was all up on me and then we went on his bus and he was smiling at me and he thought I was the bomb and then we sat for hours and ate sushi and talked about life and he thought I was great and then we TOTALLY DID IT!!”
It’s a good thing someone got the truth on tape!
Well…do you ever see her actually leave the bus? That’s the part I can’t figure out.
I think it’s important to remember that when you see an excerpt of footage out of context it can misrepresent a situation and give the wrong impression. This footage is a good example of that.
If you want to know the full story.. you could always contact the guy who took the footage via his youtube page!
I dig Henry I really do. His radioshow is f*cking addictive. His spoken word;funny and inspiring (to a certain degree..have to admit am always getting a wee bit fed up with the;”educational-american-do-better-message” It leaves a bit of a sour aftertaste the same sour aftertaste I get with vegan punks and jehova witnesses) And furthermore the guy is attractive. He never used to be attractive..But now since hes aging theres a certain melancholy/broken soul look. He reminds me of superman out of work.Going over and over his glory days again whilst drinking coffee..
Anyway
I dont like the footage. I dont mind seeing the girl going all groupie on Henry. I dont mind knowing that she was prolly eager to swallow,what ever it is that she wants to swallow. What I mind is that Henry is taking an advantage of him being Henry Rollins and Henry who has the ”protection” of the (male) crowd. It reminds me of a coward. And its a bit childish as well.
Now having written that..I know that I dont know the entire story. Am also aware that footage these days in most cases serves it selves as the truth..Without knowing the beginning or the aftermath..Still
The guys in the footage..Are ANNOYING….Guys are always annoying..They get in a guy-crowd and all of a sudden its like seeing Jodie Foster in a 80-ies movie getting jiggy with white trash truckers in a bar,until its too late and she starts going:”Please help me”..The guys in the footage of Henry kinda remind me of that..So Im taking the side of The Slut..Since she causes such a stir on this site ,its obvious that all of us wish we had her balls to degrade ourselves in public in order to score ..We re just too uptight to admit it..
I contacted the guy who posted this on youtube and he never answered. Looks to me like she never got off the bus that night.
[...] think it’s very interesting the reactions that have been generated by the footage we posted the other day. I have to say I’m quite surprised that people are prepared to jump [...]
It’s obvious. He removes the “distraction” from the scene and goes about the business of signing stuff. There’s probably no more footage because the guy with the camera got bored of shooting Henry signing stuff.
Listen to what Rollins says: …sit on my ass and do nothing for a while.
The young lady was probably on the bus, given a glass of water and told to sober up. If, in fact, she was drunk. She may just be an annoying attention seeker.
This may happen a lot to Rollins. Read his books. There just isn’t a camera there every time.
That chick was SO lucky and Henry was a total gentleman. Silly flirting, that’s all. Who would you rather spend time with? All of those boys or her? “Lighten up, Francis.”
