Black Flag was everything but a conventional hardcore band. Henry Rollins had terrifying energy about him that caused a rift between him and other bands of that era. Outside of the stage, he was a lovable, goofy jock who cared deeply about ethics and politics. He had ongoing competitions with Iggy Pop, Bad Brains, Circle Jerks, and even traditional hardcore bands like Cro Mags and Madball in the 1990s. Currently, Rollins works as an activist and advocate for sober culture, although he has always preached the necessity of staying true to oneself, through sobriety, artistry, and any other means necessary.
