- “Since I’ve been here last, I’ve been to Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Burma, India, Nepal, China, Brunei, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Mali and Senegal. America has a new president, which is interesting in that it sparks a lot of racism in my country. Racism that was dormant or not really that evident is now all over the place in America. These people were always around it wasn’t just like, ‘Ding! I’ll be a racist now!’ it’s more like, ‘Now I’ve got a microphone!’ It’s really depressing, so I deal with all of that. If I’m outside of America, I try and make the show more of a global thing where people can plug in, but Barack Obama is such a notable guy. He is articulate and really interesting. He is America’s first African American president in a country with such a history of racism. There are right wing pundits in America – talk show hosts and radio people – who have an unbelievable amount of sway in American politics. One of the most famous is Rush Limbaugh, he’s an awful guy and makes hundreds of millions of dollars. Barack Obama’s administration responded to the Haitian crisis within 24 hours. Here comes the soldiers, here comes the food, go go go… Rush Limbaugh told his multi millions of listeners that Obama only did that to gain favour with black people in America. This is the kind of idiocy that I have to deal with in my country. I can’t not put that on stage.” — Henry Rollins. Lots more at the link. [Dazed Digital]

- “I hope that girls don’t read the article, look at the decisions that Heidi made, and think that’s normal.
