“Rollins, now 65, was a frontman for the legendary Southern California #punkband Black Flag and later the MTV mainstay Rollins Band. Since retiring from music, he’s been a spoken word artist, radio host, actor, journalist, and TV presenter. The best friend he mentioned is Ian MacKaye, who fronted Minor Threat and Fugazi and co-founded and still co-owns Dischord, one of the most influential DIY record labels of all time. Their friendship is the stuff of #punk legend; they also worked at Häagen–Dazs together as teens. And like so many punks and rockabilly fans—and millions of other freaks and weirdos—Rollins and MacKaye fell fast and hard for #theCramps. “ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/07/cramps-new-abum-vengeance-records-poison-ivy-lux-interior-henry-rollins-ian-mackaye-punk-psychobilly-revival/
