I've just been reading one of Henry's excellent books and noted mention of Morrissey. He seems quite contradictory on whether he is a fan or not.
Can anyone confirm if Henry has made any other comment on Morrissey or The Smiths.
Ta.

Hey Whigged, Afghan Whigs fan? Anyhow, I digress.
Rollins should have Morrissey as a guest on his show. (He has a talk show on ifc.) I think having Rollins interview Mozzer would be amazing.
Someone make this happen. Thanks!
I agree, from your lips to the producers' ears, I'm all for it. Two intelligent men who are passionate about music. It would be "My Dinner with Andre" of rock interviews; all you would need is the two men, a table with candelight, a bottle of Grey Goose and just let then rip it up for one hour.

I've met Henry Rollins. I can say, without hesitation, that he is an ASSHOLE. I really don't care what he thinks of Morrissey. His opinion means less than nothing to me.

First I just wanted it to happen.
Now m_d you make me want to be there too.
Interesting. When I met him (admittedly briefly) he was really sweet - a little shy even. We talked about ice cream.
Maybe you just met him on a bad day? I don't know.
Well... I met him in a club. We talked a bit and then I mentioned to him that I grew up in the same area that he did. He looked at me suspiciously. He said he didn't believe me. I was shocked. I asked why. He told me I didn't seem like I was from DC. Then he grilled me about where I went to school, etc. I told him that I went to a school in Virginia that was year round. I'd go three weeks and live with another relative, then come back to DC. It's all true, of course, but that made him believe me even less for some reason. Then he literally made a face at me and turned his back on me. I could not believe it! I can't remember exactly what happened next, but I recall telling him he was a jerk and that I am no liar... and why would I lie about such a stupid thing anyway?! Then I left.
I still don't know why he was so certain that I was lying or why it was so important to him to show me up for the liar that I obviously am. It really hurt my feelings, actally.
Plus, a few years later I was reading something he wrote about working in a pet shop. He was abusive with the animals. That put the final nail in the coffin for me. He's just an asshole.
