Meanwhile, Henry Rollins shared in a recent episode of Rick Rubin’s podcast Broken Record why he stopped making music.

The ex-Black Flag and Rollins Band singer quit making new music more than a decade ago, turning to podcasting, writing, acting, comedy and more instead.

“The smart thing I did as a younger man was one day I woke up in my bed and I went, ‘I’m done with music. I don’t hate it. I just have no more lyrics. There’s no more toothpaste in the tube,’” he told Rubin.

“Luckily, I had enough movies, voiceover, documentary work, writing, talking, where that just filled in, and now I’m busier than ever. But I walked away before I had to start saying, ‘Hey, kids, remember this one?’ So I didn’t have to put it on and go up there and put on the dog and yelp for my dinner.”
