Buckle up Hippies!!

Henry Rollins is coming to Rochester.

From a Mother Jones interview regarding his USO tour:

MJ: Have these experiences changed the way you think about the war at all, having met so many people one on one, face to face?

HR: No. [The war] was a bad idea. It never was a good idea. It's an illegal war. We're not there for the purposes that George W. Bush says. He has a perfect situation there because if you leave it now, you leave these people who did not ask for your incursion; you leave these people in worse shape than when you got there.

A guy who shot and killed a child mistakenly, he writes me and asks me to give him good reason why he shouldn't kill himself. These are the letters I get, and I get them pretty often. So this thing is a very personal experience for me. It's more than just something I see on the news.

So tighten up those Birkenstocks or better yet borrow a pair of Doc Martens and come down to the Harro East this Tuesday.

UPDATE: Frantic Frank over at City Newspaper has a nice interview with Henry.

See you there.
