Spoken word help?

[Mimi Schwartzenpfeffer]

Hello there! :)

New member here - been lurking for a while though...

I have a question that I hope you fine folks of teamrollins can help me with:

I'm looking for a story from one of Henry's spoken word things but I can't remember for the life of me which one it's from. ARGH!

------------------------------------------------

In the story he talks about Texas, about how it's a pretty rough place and that you should never fuck with the cops there.

It was something that happened post-show during his Black Flag days, this guy was trying to provoke a fight and called Henry a faggot (amongst other things I think), to which Henry responded by beating the guy up.

That is, until the cops came along and broke it up.

The cop who was escorting Henry away wanted to know how the fight came about so Henry said "that guy called me a faggot."
The cop was like "He called you WHAT, son?!?" and promptly let Henry go and went back to go beat the fuck out of the other guy.

------------------------------------------------

I've been looking through all the spoken word/talking shows I have but I can't find it and I promised to send it to my friend so if there's anyone who could point me in the right direction I'd be eternally grateful.

I'll give you a cookie!


In other news, I just wanted to say I really like this little Rollins-filled corner of the internets so Hello again to all of you! :D

Welcome!

And the segment you are looking for is on "Talk is Cheap: Volume 3" within a track titled "A Love Story" and that portion starts around the 6 minute mark.

YES!! That's it! :D

Thanks so much for your help (and the quick reply!) Indi!!

And for the Welcome as well.

I'm such an idiot, I was looking through the files and just went by the name of the different tracks.
"A Love Story" is probably where I would have least expected to find it - I thought I remembered it being a whole separate track of its own but I stand corrected now. :)

Here's your cookie:

Hi everyone. I'm new here as well and I also need help with a spoken word bit I can't find.

I once heard Henry do a great bit that went something like this (paraphrased from my faulty memory):
If you want a kid to get good on guitar, lock him in a room with some Black Sabbath albums while all the other kids his age are out dating and driving to the mall.

Of course, Henry expands on that theme a lot-- basically "how to grow a good guitar player." Hopefully this will trigger somebody's memory and you can tell me where to find that one. I've gone through 6 albums and it's not on any of those.
