from the man himself:
'#87. 03-28-06 Dublin Ireland: A little past midnight. I am so tired I am cross eyed. That might have been the best Dublin audience I’ve eve had. They were so well behaved! No drunks talking all night. People are usually really great but sometimes you get the Guinness enthusiast and it all goes south as they feel the need to talk to you all night from their seat. So now I have a few hours to sleep and then stagger onto another airplane to NYC for press and other stuff. It was a good tour and I am looking forward to getting onto other stuff. It went by fast and the audiences were great. I think I did good shows and I hope everyone is happy with the way it all went.'

Hehe.. in Dublin he put his bottle of water on the floor, talked for two hours with no breaks longer than a second (sweating involved), then picked up the bottle and left.

I seriously wonder if that guy tours with only the one set of clothing, washing it between speaking gigs.

He seems like an annoying midget when he's not singing.

Very possible StratusGD! I remember reading an article in mid 90's where he said he had two cardboard boxes for clothing at home: for white and black clothes.
He also wrote there something like "I'm 34, I'll look a little weird walking through airports with my old backpack at 40. But fuck it, life's a fleeting blast, ride the fucking wild!"

I like Henry. I think he's got integrity, regardless of opinions of his talent.

It's might be cathartic if got up on stage and did a "spoken word" bit about how obnoxious he himself is. That act would be his only art. Or is he crucified himself on his front proch with some nails from his own well-stocked garage.

Whenever I start thinking of selling out or that I'm burning out I open Rollins' "Get in the Van" about his days of touring with Black Flag, and I rediscover what integrity and doing something because you're passionate really demands..and I smile and have the ability to say "Fuck no" to the things that compromise me and "Fuck yeah" to the things that I know in my heart I should be doing..
