Henry Rollins is one of the smarter punkers out there, an original South Bay (LA) punk with muscles, tattoos and clear thinking, who ridicules the passivity of GenX. I've read a couple of his books, (yes, books!) and they are ...interesting, very honest. Freepers: few of you will like this guy, but he at least stays sober, in shape, and has strong opinions about the underclass and spoiled white kids. I appreciate any American who lives a black sheep existance (bikers, punks, canyon hermits, militia types, etc) and who keeps his wits about him and stays within the law. Last I checked, this was STILL America.

I'm a fan of Rollins, but he lost some shine with me with his recent track "Hollywood Money-Go-Round", where he excoriates Hollywood and entertainment in general. Then he turns around and hosts the new "Junkyard Wars" spinoff on TLC! Just another hypocrite...but does his band ever smoke!

Yeah, but Glenn Danzig could beat him up.

Does Henry have a similar viewpoing to Nyquist? The reason I ask is that Nyquist is quite critical of "Conservatives" and says that they are conserving nothing and only slowing the incremental creep of the Left. He also says that materialism, obsession with democracy and levelling to middle class norms have destroyed the protective strata (e.g. the warrior class) that used to protect Western civilization. Hence our current crisis and likely future severe challenges. It's OK to rag on ineffectual idealogies such as "Conservatism" as defined in the modern age.
