Henry spoke about the incident at the show, and also wrote about it on his site. This was his response to the email he received:

�I was reading a book called Jihad by Ahmed Rashid which is a history of Central Asia. I didn't speak to the man next to me past how do you do. I think Ahmed Rashid is published by Yale University Press. Bush's alma mater. Please tell your government and everyone in your office to go fuck themselves. Tell them twice. If your boss is looking for something to do, you can tell him I suggest he go fuck himself. Baghdad's safer than my hometown and your PM is a sissy. You have a nice night.�

You gotta love Henry :)

HENRY ROLLINS Finds New Ways To Channel His Anger

The Associated Press is reporting that veteran rocker Henry Rollins says he still harbors the anger of his punk roots but has found new ways to channel it off stage.

"My anger is more civically rooted," Rollins, 45, told The Associated Press Sunday (March 12) in an interview at the South by Southwest Interactive festival. "To be an American without some anger, you're sleeping on the job."

A vocal critic of the Bush administration and the Iraq war, Rollins said he supports the troops, and he has met many while touring with the USO, the private organization that entertains U.S. troops overseas.

"These people are incredibly human. They're like, 'I have a job to do sir and I really miss my wife,' and that's when it becomes very personal," he said.

The former BLACK FLAG frontman now hosts his own film-focused television show on the Independent Film Channel, aptly called "The Henry Rollins Show". He also hosts a radio show in Los Angeles.

He's not so sure music has the power to change the world anymore.

"What does change things is people voting," he told The Associated Press.
