Henry Rollins Quotes
I think there will always be great new music and bands. As long as there's people around, there's going to be great music. I think there's bands like Wolf Eyes, Q & Not U, the Evens and many others that are doing great stuff. The music that doesn't please you, you just don't listen. No one makes me listen to Nickelback, so long may they wave.

My goal is to reveal such mechanisms in a way that makes people realize the necessity of changing their own reality.
