The Rollins Name

Sorry to be so late to the Rollins surname party. I edited a clip of Rollins’ interview on Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast. In the clip he attributes the name to a college his friend’s sister attended. I don’t think this is a solid answer, I’ve also heard him say that he borrowed it from the trucking company. Something along the lines of “I liked the road, and the idea of travel, and trucks seemed like...

Anonymous asked: So um I'm going to see Henry's spoken word in a week or two and I'm just wondering what to expect? Like how long are his shows, are they really packed, does he interact with the audience?

alltheseurlsarefuckingtaken asked: I saw Henry live in Oxford in the middle of January and I think he said that the Nat Geo program he talked about hadn't aired yet in the UK or US. Also, this tumblr is pretty fucking awesome. Keep up the good work.

sarahgrealz asked: Hi, I was wondering if you know where I can find any videos of Henry doing national geographic, I saw him do spoken word last month and he was talking about doing national geographic episodes about snakes and they were such amazing stories but I can't find the videos anywhere only thing I've found is a short video of him with the guy from slayer and all his snakes. Which is amazing but I...

angxietyasking asked: too bad i cannot for the life of me remember where i read it. still, interesting to know!

angxietyasking asked: i have a feeling i read somewhere recently that the reason behind henry changing his last name had something to do with a personal joke between him an ian. they'd write letters and sign them as 'rollins'. then, once he was old enough to change it, or maybe when he became the frontman for black flag, he changed it to rollins. i also vaguely remember greg telling him to change it,...

guitar-porn asked: He chose Rollins because of the jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins.

Anonymous asked: hi, does anyone know why henry changed his name to rollins? i don't think he's ever talked about it.

Anonymous asked: Does the search and destroy emblem on henry's back come from anything or is it just a self designed tattoo?

mikewhoreanica asked: So I was downloading the music and stuff, and Slip It In, Loose Nut, In My Head, Who's For the 10 1/2?, Everything Went Black (just shows a blank page), Wasted... Again, Life Time, Turned On, The End of Silence, Insert Band Here, A Clockwork Orange Stage, Get Some Go Again, and Nice didn't work. They were either deleted or showed this notice thing. Just thought I'd tell you...

FYHR is on the third page of Henry's Google...

Killing it. Thanks for all the support, y’all! (Do you think he’s ever seen this site? Oh shit!)

Q: Your bio on the Internet Movie Database claims you “despise the music of Depeche Mode, U2 and Bruce Springsteen.” Any more spring to mind? A: I have no problem with Bruce Springsteen. I wrote a piece in Spin magazine 20 years ago when I said the Boss’ outfit - blue jeans, red handkerchief, white T-shirt and big biceps - made him look like a very stocky gay boy. What’s...

lowtalker asked: Rollins has no animosity towards Springsteen. In 2005, he said that he is a fan of work and has a majority of his catalog.

kaijudude asked: To the anon who said I wasn't close to being in reality. I'm well aware of Rollins feelings towards Springsteen. I made it as a joke for one of my friends.

Anonymous asked: Rollins absolutely despises Bruce Springsteen & theres plenty of youtube videos, articles and interviews where he says so, whoever made that is not even close to being in reality. Rollins/Lemmy or Rollins/Iggy would have been better.
