Rollins was good in Black Flag and early Rollins Band. After 'Weight' it all went seriously downhill. Even his spoken word is recently unfunny and rambling, and lacking consistant 'truth' from show to show (meaning most stories are probably made up or massively exaggerated).
Balances his
massive ego, self-righteousness, selfpromoting and self-appointingness with being quite a cool guy.
He hates soul-less-ness in music, his rants against the rich musicians like U2 are spot-on, he seems to keep going at it, without really selling out (some argue he had long ago).
Has no time for his fans.
Also annoyingly says he 'loves work'. I'd love your job Henry. Do you want to swap? Let's see if you'd 'love work' then.
On top of the
gripes, he is one of the 'straightest' performers in the media, and that is a good thing.
