Henry Rollins Learns to Wrestle an Alligator
'Those things are not tame, as if you could tame a big reptile," Rollins says about wrestling an alligator. "There’s no familiarity. They might not scare you, but it is a very big animal. I had never done anything like that before. But basically I just tried to stay very present and very aware of what I was doing. I have not seen the footage but I’m sure my face was a study of concentration. I do remember going ‘okay, get through this.’ Before I jumped on the alligator, the owner was like, ‘You know he’s more of a runner than a biter.’ Which apparently is supposed to buck you up.'

Kate Holden: Take it from an ex-addict, outlawing drugs does not work
MOREIllegality did not deter me from heroin for a moment, any more than it had prevented me and every well-educated, employed and emotionally stable friend of mine from experimenting with other drugs. Soon I was not only a victim, a sufferer and a patient; I was also a fugitive and criminal. Heroin is expensive, even in the 1990s when it was comparatively cheap. By the high point of addiction I needed several hundred dollars a day - every day. Black market economics grossly inflated the price. This ''prohibitive'' expense in turn pushed me first to petty pilfering, then illegal sex work on the street. There was simply no other way to finance my habit, nor could I defeat it.

Black Sabbath's 'Integrity' for sale on eBay
On 11/11/11, having undergone 5286 line up changes it was announced that Black Sabbath would undertake a world tour with the legendary, original line up. During what are now very austere times for a large percentage of the world’s population, thousands of fans bought expensive tickets for these shows. However, at a later date the fans learned that Bill Ward the drummer would not be playing on any of the reunion shows, as it transpired that he would unfairly not be getting an equal cut of the profits of the tour.
As a fan of the original Sabbath for over 30 years, I find that the way that they are trying to rip off both Bill Ward and the hundreds of thousands of loyal fans across the planet is unacceptable and appalling. Therefore, I am conducting this auction for what I consider to be Black Sabbath’s integrity as represented in the guise of a plastic dog turd.
Please note that the payment of the winning bid (minus any fees ebay charge me) will be donated to the charity Help The Aged. I can also assure you that absolutely none of the money will go to greedy ageing rock stars or their management, they have taken enough of our money and won’t be getting anymore.
“Well you can’t do a reunion without the originals, can you?” Lemmy Kilmister.
Current bid is £41.00 with 3 days and 18 hours left...

(Thanx Martin!)
HA! BLOODY! HA!
Yours for £650!!!
Provenance: The Eileen Polk Collection.
According to Eileen, "This 'official' Richard Hell shirt was made in agreement with Richard Hell from one of my photos in 1977. I made the shirts with my photo on the back to sell at Manic Panic and I think only about a dozen or so were made."
