Eh, I just don't expect anything else from Iggy. Rollins is a complete enigma. I remember when everyone got pissed at Watt for allowing a minutemen tune to be in a car commercial. He said all the dough went to help pay for an operation for d boon's mom. So...
Avatar 10:00am
Cecile:

Rollins never tried to pass himself off as idealistic.

I think partly it's because it helps Detroit (that's why Seger licensed Like A Rock), and partly because at this point Ig might as well be Robert Plant - he's living in a different stratosphere than us.
