He came to Minneapolis a couple of years ago and I regret not going (when I lived there). Now he’s coming to SD and it’s all the way in Pierre!!?? Blah!
Good for Pierre. Rollins is “safe” enough to connect with just about any audience. It’s probably what the kids need to hear in that desolate area; that they aren’t alone and there are others just like them everywhere. Anyone that’s remotely “different” in Pierre (or central SD, or the res, etc) is likely to have a miserable life. A perfect way to settle teen angst where the suicide rate is high.
I think it’s cool he is visiting the state capitols as well. Places like St Paul, Austin, and Olympia have sizable scenes.
Outisde of a kid having a Green Day T-shirt, some of the places like Bismarck, Carson City, Cheyenne, and the aforementioned Pierre are as close as some of these places will ever come to anything punk.
His performance here a few years ago really impressed me. I wasn’t sure what to expect since he’s been at this for years, but he still gives these things his all. Even when booked at a high school in Brandon.

I hope he kicks out a few Black Flag jams.

Heck of a work ethic.
