Mr Rollins

This past week we headed down to the Bassline in Newtown, Johannesburg to watch Henry Rollins speak his words and do his thing. He regaled us with stories of his aggressive and impulsive days in Black Flag, his views on American politics and the history of the American Nation (and how the omnipotent Vagina impacts on the Nation's functioning), his collaboration with National Geographic in touring the world and his recent trip to North Korea, amongst others.

While he is an incredible entertainer, he is also an insightful and inspiring autodidact. I was glowing by the time we left the venue, not only for the fact that Henry is, despite his own humility, awash in sex-appeal but also for the fact that he reminded me that it's possible to do the extraordinary, to make a difference and to become the person that, often, you only hope to be.

What an awesome evening. Thank you Mr Rollins.
