A vintage (1984)
interview with the members of the founding fathers of
Californian hardcore punk rock Black Flag, and some later
comments from former vocalist Henry Rollins. Why? Two
reasons.
Currently, Rollins is on tour playing
Black Flag songs with his band to raise awareness of the
Rise Above tribute album he assembled to benefit the legal
defense fund of the West Memphis 3.
Also,
Black Flag founder Greg Ginn has announced a reunion show in
Los Angeles of the pre-Rollins Black Flag, to benefit the
Californian cat rescue programme. Both Ginn and Rollins were
unavailable for comment on these respective
endeavours.
