Why Henry Rollins Is One Of The Best People Around

So, rather than stay in like my normal reclusive self, I caught Henry Rollins' show at the Kent Stage tonight. Being the fan that I am (can I just say thanks for everything you do Henry Rollins?), I was front row center with my significant other. I didn't have the chance to meet him, I have life on my plate to balance too, but the show was astounding. He's like a fountain of truth spilling at the seems, with everything you feel like saying but are too afraid to bursting forth at 100 mph! Although Henry Rollins is more fortunate than most of us, especially in his travels, he still makes you feel like it's possible for you to change your life and the world. It's hard to think of what to say, but with everything that's been going on in the world, it's amazing when someone like Henry Rollins invests everything into a three hour performance that not only leaves you breathless but reinvigorated. I hope he comes to Kent, OH again the next time he's on tour, and I recommend his show to anyone, open minded or not. By the way, he makes punk seem cool still.
