Got watching these last night and I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. This man can tell a story.

Perhaps NSFW, language.

Great choice of nemesis. Even today Iggy Pop is kind of scary, here he is receiving a Living Legend Award last year.

^ It's sad that someone would photoshop (badly) Iggy's face onto Iggy's body.

Really? I just pulled it out of a Google list of Iggy Pop pictures.

Rollins is fun to watch speak. He is a very smart man and even his old interviews when he was with Black Flag show this.

I agree DS, I found it really noticeable when I started listening to Rollins Band in the early 90's. Strangely enough Rollins' albums of that period turned me on to jazz.

I was shocked when I heard his first spoken-word tour. I had no idea what an articulate and intelligent person he is.

He looks like the kind of guy that would chat about philosophy while beating you up. Been a fan for years...

He has a radio show, or at least did as late as last fall, on KCRW here in Southern California. I love listening to it when I stumble across it, but never remember, or have time, to actually tune it. Should be able to find a stream at www.kcrw.org. Can't go there to confirm because it's a streaming media site. Can't has that at work, ya know.

But, yeah, he's a pretty cool guy.

I used to have a few CD's of his spoken word stuff. I could not listen to it while driving.

So you unfamiliar with his works with 'The Rollins Band' and 'Black Flag'?

The Rollins band was forgettable I will admit, but Black Flag was just awesome. Not as good as The Misfits (YMMV) but they were awesome.

I did a search on YouTube for The Rollings band, after I listened to these.....and no..never heard of him. Does his band have a top hit? Or something famous I missed ?

Only if you're into punk rock in the id-80s or so. You might recognize "Six Pack" or "TV Party" if your heard the songs, but not realize it's Black Flag.
