No posts for a wee while

My internet connection has been dead the past few days thanks to the weather conditions in my area at the moment. I have no idea when it will restored. Hopefully things will be back working soon and I’ll get busy with some Hello Henry posts again. Till then… why not visit Team Rollins.

oh.. btw, I’m posting this from a friends place.

“Rollins Best” Citrus Punch

This video is out of focus at the relevant moment… but what the fellas at the start are referring to, before they hurl their substitute Rollins off the top of the roof, is the ‘Rollins Best’ logo on the label of the Citrus Punch. Now that would be something. A Henry Rollins endorsed line of food products! I believe he keeps a food diary (as part of tour prep at least) – so it’s not such a stretch! And you know what the tag line of his endorsement will be – “Live long and strong!”.

The Henry Rollins Stalker Kit

Alright, I admit, this is not an actual stalker kit (sorry to disappoint ladies) and I don’t think Rollins fan boys and girls are weirdos.. well, actually, I do. But that’s why we love you! Heart on sleeve fanaticism is welcome here! .. as long as that fanatical energy does not end up with you in the office of a cosmetic surgeon demanding a bum chin .. now that would be weird… especially if you were a chick. But I digress.

Although not an actual stalker kit, in the virtual sense however, it comes pretty close. This post contains a list of links to places on the internets that will keep you informed and up to date on what’s happening in the world of Henry Rollins. And as any fan will know.. it’s a heck of a lot!

Harmony In My Head To Continue On Indie

Indie’s website is today reporting that Henry Rollins radio show, Harmony In My Head, along with many other indie shows, have confirmed their intention to continue broadcasting on the new Indie. Henry has also posted an update on the official Harmony In My Head website with his thoughts on the whole thing. That’s great news! Make sure you get on the broadbands and keep tuning in!

Harmony In My Head Has A Headache

Indie 103.1, the LA radio station that broadcasts Henry Rollins radio show Harmony In My Head, is no longer broadcasting on the 103.1 frequency. Their website reports they will continue to broadcast online, so one assumes HIMH will continue to broadcast as normal until we hear otherwise. No doubt there will be a number of changes taking place as the station transforms into an entirely online enterprise. Visit the Indie 103.1 website to read their statement. You might also like to check out Indie DJ Tedd Roman on Twitter – he’s been tweeting about the news throughout the day. Cheers to Minerbabe on Team Rollins to alerting us to the news.

Apologies to Safari Browser Users

A couple of days ago I was alerted to the fact that the new design for Hello Henry was all messed up in Safari. Yes, RSS feed readers, we have a new design! Come on over and take a look! The problem was a simple CSS code that is not Safari friendly. Sorry if you had to endure a wacky layout. It’s all fixed up now! Thanks to Marco for the heads up!

FOX “News” Serves it up to Henry Rollins

foxnews

Today’s post courtesy of Hello Henry reader Indy:

We all know that most of what FOX NEWS has to say isn’t worth a gallon of camel spit.  Additionally, probably much like yourself, I have an incredibly warm, soft, gooey spot in my normally cold, black heart for our Dear Henry.  That being said…he isn’t what I would call National News material at this time.  Something he wrote about back in 1998 (Solipsist) and then re-did for his IFC show more than two years ago is DOUBLY, if not TRIPLY, not what even we fans would consider National News-worthy material.

Which is why, THIS is just so damn funny.

Apparently the American conservative douche bags have nothing else of merit to discuss this week.
