Henry Rollins

Saturday, Mojave Tent

When Henry Rollins took the stage Saturday afternoon, he didn’t treat

the crowd to any Black Flag or Rollins Band favorites. Instead, he

spoke. He’s humble ““ self-described as a “mere high school graduate” ““

but he’s smart, and he’s got a soapbox. During his short set, Rollins

flirted with a handful of pretty grim topics: war, Cambodian killing

fields, xenophobia and homophobia, but he managed to somehow make the

speech funny and engaging. The crowd loved it; he couldn’t have picked

a more receptive audience. But this wasn’t one of your

run-of-the-mill, preaching-to-the-choir-on-the-streets-of-Berkeley

types of sermons. Rollins had a point: If the audience had the time

and money to come to Coachella, they can scrape together the means to

take action to solve these very real problems.
