Met Henry seven or so years ago after one of his spoken word shows. Really great, easy to talk to person, despite how he is personified in his music and interviews. Thanks for the intellect.

Don't hate the media; become the media.

"Unloved corporate music." So well put.
The man is a maestro with words.

All manner of 'I agree' going on here.

i have such a huge man-crush on henry.
clear channel is the DEBIL!

Adding video to channels (Talks) - requested by ant.

For all the heart and passion and triumph that Henry expresses, I gotta say -- the man is beginning to look his age.

Still, no shame in that. The man rocked, rocks, will rock again.

while i agree with a lot of what he said, it seem like he's dissing electronic music..?

If the electronic music can't be performed live, he's most certainly dissing it.

Whoops! Yes he is dissing electronic music.

That's like saying if movies that's be performed live, they are no good.
I disagree with this point of view. There is plenty of extremely creative and imaginative music that can't be performed live.

Certainly electronic music can be good. Henry hates it. I think it can be good but is in general inferior, especially if it has no live component. The enjoyment of music is heightened when played live and shared in a venue that is conducive to live performance. To put it in vulgar terms, masturbation is great, but it is just not as good as fucking. All of which are opinions that you can do with as you will.
