Shit That I Think!

So I went to see this man (it’s Henry Rollins just in case you’ve lived in a cave for the past 30 years or so) last night with my wife and a few friends of mine. I was really excited to hear the man speak. He is usually full of life and energy, but after enduring political speak, and hearing about all the third world/uncivilized places he goes to for fun, I quickly came to realize the fire is out! On every spoken word album he puts out, and at every live show, he refers to himself as an “aging alternative icon.” Well, I have to agree with him. I remember being 18 years old and thinking that I could change the world, and really make a difference, but now at 33 I take this method of thinking for what it is, PUNK ROCK BULLSHIT! As far as I’m concerned, the “fuck it all” method of thinking is all the punk rock attitude you need these days. That’s just my opinion of course, but think about it for a second, the majority of Americans are going to vote, so why not take the “punk” approach and go against the majority. I don’t know, maybe I’m coming off as a bitter old man, but no more bitter than you Hank. I just have a contrary view on life. So with that said, the next time you come into Philly, please just play “My War” and shut the fuck up!
