<p>Throughout “Bent By Nature,” you’ve heard many stories of the lifelong connections set in motion by Deirdre O’Donoghue. But none were quite as surprising as the bond between Deirdre and fellow iconoclast <strong><a href="https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/henry-rollins" data-val="a73ec36f655c9452cf88f50e99cba946" data-linktype="internal">Henry Rollins</a></strong>, the former Black Flag frontman, musician, writer, actor, activist, and <a href="https://www.kcrw.com/music/shows/henry-rollins" data-val="a73ec36f655c9452cf88f50e99cba946" data-linktype="internal">longtime KCRW host</a>. After a chance meeting in early 1984, Rollins became a regular voice on “SNAP!” And he quickly became one of her most treasured co-hosts and friends.</p>
<p>In our final episode of “Bent By Nature,” Rollins shares his remembrances of Deirdre: the DJ, tastemaker, and human being who changed his life irrevocably.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>“You’re impossible to pigeonhole is what you are. You are simply Rollins. That’s all there is to it. And I rather like it.”</em></p>
