He never claimed to be dirt poor from a rough neighborhood or anything.

Like Kid Rock who claims to have grown up in a Detroit trailer park but was actually the son of a guy who owned a chain of car dealerships and they didn't live in Detroit.

Ok, so DC schools are way more expensive and exclusive than they used to be. Times have changed.

Saw in an interview lyrics to “liar” were written about this school.

Henry Rollins has been Henry Rollins since birth.

That sentence makes sense.

Potomac, Maryland is one of the wealthiest places in the US. I grew up near there poor though.

To put your kid to go from k-12, you'd be coughing up around $300k.

What's crazy is that the parents will have to go through a very extensive interview, your kid will get tested on and more interviews. All while you're paying them for the application and whatever fees.

It's bonkers to know that it cost so much money to get a proper education in this country.

And yet… we got Black Flag, State of Alert, and Rollins Band out of the deal.

And Zaheer.

Edit: Can we even legally call it Black Flag now? /s

If you live in Montgomery county Maryland you are getting a proper education. It is a great school system.

You could have left out his name in the title, and I still would have recognized him as Henry. Same unimpressed/annoyed face lol.

I love how people are making Bullis out to be this rich prep school. Not like that at all

NewDevelopment3720 t1_iwvyak1 wrote

Are you high? It sure as fuck is. Yes, they give tuition assistance to needy students, but most parents are paying $50K per year as I personally know. BTW, that's the same tuition as Princeton, and again I know.

Oldbayistheshit t1_iww70ma wrote

That’s like the public school of the private schools around here

Makes you wonder if he'd had come up thru the east coast scene, if his parents didnt relocate..

UrgeToKill t1_iwxgmj5 wrote

He did come up through the East Coast scene with SOA and being friends with Ian Mackaye etc. He only moved to LA when he joined Black Flag

unseenmover t1_iwziqnh wrote

Thanks for that bit o' history..

SOA?

UrgeToKill t1_ix0v7sh wrote

State of Alert. Short lived hardcore band he sang for in DC before he was in Black Flag. Put out a 7" on Dischord. It's alright

If it weren't for the stoic look, the thumbnail kinda looks like Aston Kutcher. But that face looked like Henry out of the womb i'm sure of it.

Looking like Ben Shapiro a bit.

Edit - I don’t like Shapiro either but really? You’re gonna act like he doesn’t look a bit like him here? Rollins was a child.
