[kj] Rollins plays (hates) Joke

Mon Jul 19 18:31:54 EDT 2004

As much as I'm decrying Henry's dismissal of the Joke, I am a huge fan 
of both SOA and Black Flag (not so much his work with the Rollins 
Band...HARD VOLUME and END OF SILENCE are okay, but it all went 
pear-shaped after that). But, y'know, just because I like the man's 
music doesn't mean I have to agree with him on every little thing.
