Yes, everyone now knows my Henry Rollins' stories from back in the day, (see Review: Henry Rollins Show review ) and the emails I have received from you all who were passing through Houston and actually went to the Island were a wonderful trip down memory lane for me-thank you all for that.

"...we didn't have any money for a band house. So I went to Detroit, I borrowed a shovel from The MC5 and I took some mescaline and I went to a barn...I spent about ten hours till I came down just trying to dig soot out of this burned out house...That's sort of an attitude. You can't stop a guy like that." - Iggy Pop on his early determination to get The Stooges off the ground in the Vietnam era.
