Wrong Man

Large guy, intense stare, tattoos on the neck...

But he just says hi and goes back to readin his book. Thick book, not a paperback, nor Tom Clancy here, what is it? It's got the word 'Jihad' on the cover? Oh Noes!!!

Sittin next to him on a plane is pretty intense, isn't it? So, dammit, report him to the terrorism cops, cuz of course all the terrorist plane bombers read books like 'How to Destroy The Western World and George Bush is a Pansy“ while they are on Flights O Death.


Well, really, some jumpy right wing corpo-bot just got irate that he had to sit next to Henry Rollins and reported him to the Australian National Security Hotline because Hank was reading a book called ”Jihad: The Rise Of Militant Islam In Central Asia“.

Of course, from all I've ever heard Henry is a great guy, nice and soft-spoken, as well as fearfully intelligent. All his rage and anger comes out on stage, he's probably one of the most well adjusted guys in the Western World.

I particularly liked this part of Rollins answer:

Please tell your government and everyone in your office to go fuck themselves. Tell them twice. If your boss is looking for something to do, you can tell him I suggest he go fuck himself. Baghdad's safer than my hometown and your PM is a sissy. You have a nice night.”

And his take on the whole episode:

I really don’t take kindly to that kind of shit. I like it though. Love it. Confrontation. Tension. Adversarial relationships. More please. It’s the only time it gets real.
