More From Henry Rollins

In harlem, for instance, all of the stores are owned by white people, all of the buildings are owned by white people. the black people are just there - paying rent, buying the groceries; but they don't own the stores, clothing stores, food stores, any kind of stores; don't even own the homes that they live in. they are all owned by outsiders, and for these run-down apartment dwellings, the black man in harlem pays more money than the man down in the rich park avenue section.

Record stores are the backbone of the recorded music culture. it's where we go to network, browse around, and find new songs to love. the stores whose staff live for music have spread the word about exciting new things faster and with more essence than either radio or the press. any artist that doesn't support the wonderful ma and pa record stores across america is contributing to our own extinction.

Big box just wasn't our strength. we are a men's and boy's specialty store focused on providing high quality clothing with custom tailoring. our customer is king. when we had seven stores, communication between the stores and with our customers became more disconnected. we started to lose that great family 'camaraderie' that is essentially the key to our success.

Despite the fact that starbucks has grown to be a large company. we've always played music in our stores and has always acted as an opportunity to create a mood in our stores. and customers started asking, "what song are you playing and can i buy that?" . and we said "no." and that was kind of the catalyst for beginning to look at music. we started out with our own compilations and after the success of that. we had the courage to say, "let's produce our own record." and the first record was with ray charles before he unfortunately passed away.

Record stores keep the human social contact alive it brings people together. without the independent record stores the community breaks down with everyone sitting in front of their computers

The court is perhaps one of the last citadels of jealously preserved individualism. for the most part, we function as nine, small independent law firms.

I've done a couple of movies for scale, and it's the only way to get a lot of these independent movies made. the actors negotiate deals where they're given just enough money to live on during the filming, but then they participate in the back-end. if the movie suddenly makes a gazillion dollars, we'll participate in that profit.
Couple Independent Dollars
Because we don't have a fairness doctrine, and because we have further media consolidation, and because we have a craptastic corporate media, we don't have news! we don't have an informed populous and we don't have a democracy... everyone in the world knows that america, (in its current state, because of right-wingers) that the right wing arm of this country (that speaks for this country unfortunately) has no credibility when it comes to human rights or independent media.
