Oldie but a goodie. I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to post this gem. Thanks to Hello Henry reader Patricia for reminding me!

It’s official, Henry don’t twitter
Like there was any doubt.
Hello Henry reader Marco contacted Henry Rollins for the final official word on the subject:
“I have never been on twitter ever.”
Click here to read Marco’s comment. Thanks to Marco for seeking an official clarification.
Is Henry Rollins On Twitter?
Is Henry Rollins on the twitters? This person seems to think so, so does this one, and this one. The list goes on. Is this guy the only one to ask – is it true? This gal seems to think Hank is twittering as well, but at least she is appropriately bewildered by it:
..I am dying to know what on Earth Henry Rollins would twitter about. Holy shit. I just used the words “Henry Rollins” and “twitter” in the same sentence. I can honestly say I never thought that would happen.
I can honestly say I never thought people would be so gullible as to fall for this. “Henry Rollins” on twitter has 6663 followers and counting. Does anyone seriously think that macho bullshit mentality man would “twitter”? He’d be lucky to even say the word let alone do it. Why twitter when you can dispatch and have your goons update for you!
Anyone who can read Henry’s tour schedule, get the latest Rollins news from Rollins-News.com and type out quotes from his books could be Henry Rollins on twitter.
Has everyone’s bullshit detector has gone awry? At least this person still has one in working order.
Me thinks Henry Rollins is on Twitter no more than Ian MacKaye is dead.

Leisure Time with Mr Rollins by Brandon Bird
But wait, there’s more.
Members of b9board.com have created variations of Brandon Bird’s illustration in this thread. Make sure you go pee before you open it. Pages and pages of Henry filled potato sack fun for all! (Note – it’s an oldish thread so unfortunately some images and animations are now deleted, but there’s still plenty! Oh, and watch out for some misogynist crap as well. Who EVER did the “It’s rape time” one deserves some good ole fashioned Iranian justice).
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT RE: HENRY ROLLINS AND HEIDI MAY
HelloHenry.com feels compelled to clear something up for the scores of women on a google quest to uncover the nature of Henry Rollins relationship to the lady behind the camera in the Battling Tops clips, Heidi May.
The reason we feel compelled to do this is that we’re a little concerned about said women wasting away their precious time searching the internets in order to find out. Especially when there aint no www.isheidimayhenryrollinsgirlfriend.com to give them the answer.
You see, when I log into this blog everyday to answer your fan mail, approve your comments and check the latest visitor stats, this is what I see when I cast my eyes over the search words that people type into the googles which leads them to HelloHenry.com:
I repeat: every single day.
Let’s just ignore the fact someone has searched for “glen danzig” nazi and stick to the subject at hand. For reasons best left alone, some people really wanna know what the deal with Heidi and Henry is. And because we at HelloHenry.com consider ourselves good samaritans and upstanding members of the internet community, I feel obliged to set the record straight.
Are you ready Googlers? This one’s for you:
Heidi May works at Henry’s company 2.13.61. She is married, but not to Henry.
There, I guess that means he’s still available then. Keep the dream alive! Watch out for that Garofalo though… opps, I shouldn’t have mentioned that. I guess you’ll start googling her now too…
Heidi Facts!
- Heidi was initially employed at 2.13.61 as a publicist.
- She was instrumental in the making of Rise Above, the benefit CD produced by Rollins for the West Memphis Three
- She loves the New York Dolls and the Rolling Stones
- She was in a band called The Puppies who’s ambition was “to be big in Japan”. Their song ‘I’ll Kick Your Ass’ can often be heard on Henry’s radio show.
- She was a co-producer of The Henry Rollins Show and hosted the music segment in its early series.
- She affectionately refers to Henry as ‘ASS’ and ‘Half-Truth Henry’
Heidi on the Internets:
Heidi May Shrine – Heidi has her own legion of fans. The reasons for this are obvious. Her kick arse band The Puppies being one. Let’s face it, she’s way cooler than Henry and he’d be without many amusing anecdotes for his spoken word shows if not for Heidi. Nor would he have a couch.
Despite the fact they fight like an old married couple, Henry still counts Ms May as one of his favorite things.
She even pops up on his radio show every now and then… although it’s not clear if she’s ever invited.
And what does Heidi think of Henry’s love life? There’s a nice article over at OC Register in which Heidi muses on the subject.

Would anyone really want this on their mousepad?
And who the hell wants a freakin cowboy hat signed by Henry Rollins? – better still, who would pay $99.99 USD for it! Tell him he’s dreamin’!
Has Henry Rollins Jumped the Shark?
You’re probably familiar with the phrase Jump the Shark, but for those who aren’t:
“It’s a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite television program has reached its peak. That instant that you know from now on…it’s all downhill. Some call it the climax. We call it “Jumping the Shark.” From that moment on, the program (or person) will simply never be the same. “
The phrase itself refers to the demise of Happy Days, when the Fronze actually jumped a shark. On a website dedicated to this phenomenon, Henry Rollins has been nominated for jumping the shark. Visitors are able to vote and provide their reasons why they think he has or has not jumped the shark. You know at HelloHenry.com we love to read idiots discussing the ins and outs of such important matters, why not join in on the fun!
Here’s an example of what you can expect:
“Henry Rollins was in Black Flag for about 10 minutes and we haven’t been able to forget it since. They weren’t even that good, they only had one good song (t.v. party). He didn’t get as famous as he wanted to be in “The Chase,” so he’s done everything he can to stay in the limelight and feed his ego. Watch any movie/tv show, he’s playing a cop in it… (except that one Drew Carey episode where he beat up people professionally). Now he’s on tv trying to convince everyone he was instrumental in the punk movement.”
