The following email from Mr. Henry Rollins of the Rollins Band and
more notably Black Flag was received by me in response to my criticism
of his rather bloated video, "illumination". I had problems with the
"hollywood"-style desolation he was trying to put across in this multi-
hundred thousand dollar 3 minute epic. I didn't really buy it. But thats
ok, we still love ya Hank.

I think that's easily the most stupid and ill thought out letter I've gotten
in months. You don't get me at all pal. Live in your head? Why the hell would
I want to do that? Go buy a Beck record, you're hilarious!
Wow, how'd he know i like Beck? sigh... that crazy Hank, he's hilarious!
Ok, now...technically, this is not fanmail, and actually, it's
not even addressed to me. I found it in the bathroom of my local
public library; someone had printed it out and left it there by
mistake. Or, possibly on purpose, since it is one of the more bizarre
e-mails I've ever read. Not for the content, but for the punctuation .
I let you be the judge:

Hi Neighbor,
Well, once again, you saved us from drowning in the basement!
Thanks for leaving the Honda Generator in your garage and not taking
it to Montana...it really was a great help! I'm sure Cinny has told
you by now that we had to "hook it up" twice! The second time I
adjusted the "choke" so it did'nt use much gas. I read the manual
so I was a little more "informed." I think I "shut it down" properly
but when you come into town you might want to take a look at it to
make sure. I would say it probably ran a total of 21-23 hrs. over the
two periods of use...the "oil lite" never came on so I think that
part is okay.
Part of the "weed" tree as June Kline like to call it broke off and
fell into the Clays yard.
Weed tree?? sigh..
Alright now, I don't want to be uncharitable to the author of this
e-mail, but I think "DOOBIESPAL" would be well advised to "stay" in "Montana",
because his "neighbor" is more than likely "psychotic", "dangerous" and "disturbed."
I wouldn't be surprised if doobie found a "body" in his "garage" up his "return."
Hook it up.
