“The first memory I have of Henry is from ‘83, in some club in LA, where we were watching the Minutemen. I’d done a gig recently, and I was complaining about a bruised rib or some other kind of injury that one incurs on stage. And Henry says, “Yeah, I’ve got quite a few aches and pains, too.” He rolls up his trousers and his legs are covered in cigarette burns where people have been stubbing their cigarettes out on his shins. I thought: Fair enough, you win this time. But I’ll be back.”
