Punk attitude confuses the hell out of me. It's a rebellion against everything, including itself, so it's hard for me to tell when somebody is acting punk... or being punk in the face of perceived notions of punk? I don't know.

being in black flag, for many people in the group (not least rollins, treated like a human ashtray by some in the audience), seemed to be about positioning yourself in opposition to everything, including your fans.

and a lot of their behaviour, imho, is down to being pretty damaged people in their own right, participating in a project that wasn't designed as a healing process, if that makes sense.

but talking about how "elitist" a store is
tbh, I thought he was being reasonably non-sarcastic here.

thing abt fucking w rollins is if youre into his music u kno hes like a rattlesnake
those ladies and the kid above kno who theyre dealing w and probably anticipated some confrontation with their comments (ladies: ha u wrote that book man; boy: going heavy metal eh fellas?) which is probably how they got their kicks, the boy handled himself rly well and trolled him back good tho
so yes rollins is/was a douche but i mean why taunt the guy unless you want to put up w his dickish antics
taunting him even slightly knowing how easily u can wind him up also makes u a bit of a douche tho not as much as rollins sure
but people liked to push rollins' buttons
heres a fun one by my man nardwuar
