I hope they make a movie about him. This guy is essentially the punk forrest gump.

This dudes lifestory is enough to fill numerous volumes. If you're not aware of how insanely busy this man keeps himself with a very wide range of travels and talents, look into him, a modern renaissance man in our midst.

Wrote him a letter from rehab once and he was kind enough to write a quick reply back that really gave me some strength for awhile there. Words mean things. Acid's a hell of a drug :)

I met Henry in '95 at Geffen Records in NYC. He is easily the most intense person I've ever met. Love you Henry!

If you haven’t watched He Never Died, I highly recommend it.

[ElHolyBoy]

I worked with him briefly. He is, very polite.

Anyone first aquainting themselves with Henrys work should also check out his spoken word bit "Eric the Pilot" and the songs "Get Some Go Again" and "Rise Above"
