Henry Rollins Interview | The Current Music Blog | The Current Music Blog | The Current from Minnesota Public Radio
I missed catching Henry Rollins when he was nearby last fall. Don’t worry, I *always* seem to miss catching Rollins do an appearance, no matter where I live.
Someday, someday.
Anyway, I found an interview he did when in the Twin Cities.
Bill Buckner: A Little Luck Is ‘Not A Bad Thing’ In Baseball : NPR
If Bill Buckner can prove anything to anyone, it is that you can always pick your up and have a full life years after a very public and very monumental screwup at just the wrong moment.

Where Are They Now?: 7 Protest Songs With Legs : The Record : NPR
I have always been a bit torn about protest songs. First, most of them are before my time and those who still use the same old songs – not to mention drum circles – seem to be as out of touch as those backward-thinking cretins they are protesting against.
