Piping The Truth Into Your Brainballs!
Story published on September 4, 2008
Henry Rollins has revealed in an interview with NME that he and celebrity criminal Charles Manson used to correspond by mail.
Punk star Rollins explained that Manson began writing to him in the early 80s after seeing him perform with Black Flag on MTV.
“He wrote me a letter out of the blue once and he said, ‘I saw you on MTV and I thought you were pretty cool’. Rollins told NME.
“So we corresponded a few times in 1984; I’d just tell him about what we were doing with our new record and he’d send back semi-lucid responses.
“He made references to The Beach Boys stealing his ideas, which sounded like sour grapes, and told me to tell everybody else to take care of wildlife. That must have been the old hippy in him talking.”
Rollins told the NME how the letters made him feel “intense and heavy”, and he always knew when a letter had arrived from Manson as the post office worker would give him strange looks. Manson’s letters were always marked with swastikas.
