Rollin's has an interesting take on the GAP sellout viewpoint. He refers to more recently when Iggy Pop was accused of selling out for those car insurance ads.

He said, If you're gonna have to sit through this car insurance commercial, wouldn't you rather see Iggy Pop up there than anyone else? After all he does deserve all the money he can get.

i think all of you have no consideration for the fact that he has given up on the punk ethos ( no decade required ) this bitch of american (us) standards of thought has degraded the process of how we revolt. if you have to go on tour to provide, fuck off, you can find a job in any city. My philosophy of any ameriCAN artist is to travel globally without money, is to just get the fuck out of their country and go. Just like the old vagabonds on the trains. American Punk has only been weakened by their lack of travel, due to the fact that they have never been signed, or contracted.... which sounds like all that are hunted.

You forgot that Henry Lawrence Garfield is like 5 foot nothing. Not a big deal but given the name, the stature, etc we can all see he's really, REALLY got something to prove y'know? Whatever. I think he's a joke. It is funny to me thought, the hordes of 13 year old pocket sprokets online who see him as Das Fazza figure and defend little Henny LAwrence Garfield from any scrutinity of his bullsh!t. Hey, Henny, if you're gonna talk sh!t about everyone else, don't be afraid to have some slung your way cockknotter. Haw Haw Haw. I am laughing.

It is funny to me, also, the hordes of 13 year old pocket sprokets online who see him as Das Missing Fazza Figga and defend little Henny Lawrence from any scrutinity of his endless torrent of bullsh!t. Hey, Henny, if you're gonna talk sh!t about everyone else, don't be afraid to have some slung your way cockknotter. GAP ads? Haw Haw Haw. I am laughing now.

I wish he would just drop dead already! He is pure pollution! I think it is pretty dumb that the Rollins fans are getting upset and personally attacking the author just because they disagree with and/or don't understand this article. I guess this proves the fans are just as immature as the man they worship, very sad.

I have always thought that he is no where near as smart as he thinks he is.

haha. the comments about how 'henry has accomplished so much so stfu you aren't famous' are so damn ayn randy.

Henry Rollins is an obnoxious arsehole with a seriously limited imagination, much like most of the people who've responded to this article. Hardly surprising he's popular in LA.

Not to mention little Henry Garfield was an upper middle class chap whose daddy abandoned him and his mother, which is a situation that even in the modern 21st with single mother acceptance and support networks both financially and emotionally available is hard, yet he got to go to an all boys prep school in Maryland snd was very well to do, even for the suburban hardcore kid audience. He's best compared to Jack Kerouac; used liberal socialization to get known, and comes outta the closet as a man in favor of "piety and order", calling all those who do things that is typical to the culture they raped to get known (whether it be Henry Garfield denouncing all things punk or Kerouac denouncing all things hippy) idiots, confused, or stupid. Henry, whose Black Flag had NOTHING to do with Morris or Ronnies hardcore punk and was and still is grunge, is an asexual freak, much like Kerouac, only Kerouac was a writer snd a pious adventurer of sins. Henry was never around girls, or women, going through puberty, and therefore would have undoubtedly been attracted to the men and boys. However, hes so ashamedof his male, homoerotic (and those who were around for his Black Flag or Rollins Band KNOWS he brought a new level of homorroticism that couldn't even be rivaled by Glen Danzig) fantasies so he, like a gridiron player whose 1st love is to strap on tights and roll on the grass with guys, sleeps with women not because he's attracted to them, but just so no one will ask questions. Check out Henry flipping out on YouTube when 2 chicks say "get in the van". He does not approach them as a man, he approaches them as someone who is disgusted by women. He is an idiot and should get no credit for anything other than homoerotic art, grunge, and being a right wing idiot
