Henry Rollins is currently in the country on his latest spoken word tour and took time out from his busy schedule to appear on The Project and explain to Aussies the one thing that’s still letting him down about Australia.

“This marriage inequality flap you’re having is below your country, it is below your conversation,” he told the panel. “You should just get rid of it, let two men get married. You’ll wake up tomorrow morning, everything will be fine. You keep on going.”

“This is really below the intellectual quotient of the conversation that Australia should be having, now and forever. It makes you look bad. In my country, those people who hate two men getting married makes my country look bad. You should squash it and move on, as fast as you can.”

Rollins also touched on the issue of gun control in his home country of America as well as what he does to unwind. Unsurprisingly, he said he enjoys sitting in his living room and listening to music on his stereo.

No doubt he’s listening to plenty of Australian music during his wind-down sessions. Rollins has previously gushed about Australia’s music scene, including citing his favourite labels, stores, and his most beloved bands.
