The pitiful, irrelevant singer for Black Flag thinks you are stupid.
Henry Rollins has contributed another gloriously inane editorial to Vanity Fair titled, “We’re Gonna Have a Tea Party Tonight!” It is an exclamation point-laden tirade against Tom Tancredo, Sarah Palin, Oliver North and tea partiers generally for being stupid and evil or something.
In two places, VF.com describes his writing as “straight talk.” “Straight” must describe the line he has toed up to– the cliched, progressive line that imagines all opponents are latently fascist and sub-moronic. (Although I would certainly choose his “straight talk” over his positively unlistenable “spoken word.”)
You will discover that Henry Rollins is an exceedingly bad writer. At one point, he completely runs out of ideas and literally writes, “blahblahblah.”
It’s quite fun to read, and to envision somebody at Vanity Fair– which I think is still a well-regarded publication, no?– assenting to publish this wall splatter of feces.
Now if only there were one place to get all the latest nonsensical ramblings of celebrity gurnalists like Henry Rollins and Bono…
