I like this kid, and I don't think he was being mean, at all (just a bit naive) however asking Henry if the band was selling out was a bad question and likely to ruffle more than a few feathers. Either though it was a question that was probably doing the rounds in hardcore circles at the time. Especially if you consider that Black Flag never made any money at all, despite their constant, and grueling fly by the seat of your pants, tours in front of the craziest most brutal audience in music. So you get beat up , abused, spat on by some fans, harassed by the police, are borderline broke, all the time, and then some people accuse you of selling out. That question would really feel like a low blow in that context.
