The Fascist Rollins Fan

Today I want to share with you a brief story a friend of mine used to tell. Back in the early to mid 1990s she was in school and going out with this crazy guy. He was a massive Henry Rollins fan who used to watch Rollins’ video ‘Talking from the Box’ all the time. This guy took his Rollins fandom to the level of a religious extremist. In other words, he hated infidels. The non-believers. If he found out that you did not like Henry Rollins, he’d beat you up. Unfortunately for my friend, this left her with a life long aversion to anything related to Henry Rollins. It was not until seeing his TV show some 15 years later that she was able to see that although her ex was a dumb thug, Rollins was actually pretty cool.
