I've been a huge Rollins fan since I was a kid in the 80s/90s. Some unsolicited recommendations:
Favorite spoken word album: Human Butt
Favorite Rollins Band album: Turned On (live)
Favorite book: Black Coffee Blues
Favorite flag with henry singing: My War
All his spoken word albums released on Quarterstick records in the early 90s were great, and I regret losing them.
The great thing about Rollins and Mackaye is that they have always cared deeply about fans. When Fugazi played my hometown, it was 5 bucks, compared to 15-20 for other shows. When I saw Rollins do a spoken word concert at UNC chapel hill, he hung out in the lobby afterwards and talked to every single fan and signed my copy of black coffee blues. When I wrote to dischord to ask them about a dag nasty reissue, they wrote me a letter back. Looking back, how many kids like me were there? must have been a ton. and yet.
Sorry this is kinda rambly but I'm obviously a huge fan still.
- jkestelyn 10y agoAnother huge fan here since the Black Flag days. Rollins did a book of poetry in the 90s called "See a Grown Man Cry"...had a profound impact on me, and I've never run across anyone else who read it.
