Henry Rollins and Tony Hawk Team Up to Launch Retirement Home for Aging Punks and Skaters

“A place to slow down… without calming down.”

In a collaboration that feels strangely inevitable, cultural icon Henry Rollins and skateboarding pioneer Tony Hawk have announced the upcoming opening of The Line Break Lodge, a retirement community designed specifically for aging punks and skaters who want support, structure, and community — without the soft-rock soundtrack or golf carts.

Set to open next spring in Southern California, the facility blends the practicality of senior living with the ethos of two subcultures that famously refused to grow up gracefully.

A Retirement Home Made for People Who Never Saw Themselves in One

Rollins explained that the idea came from noticing his own fanbase aging alongside him:

“I’d talk to people in their 60s and 70s at shows who said, ‘Man, I don’t know what I’m gonna do when I can’t live alone anymore — I don’t fit the mold of a normal retirement home.’ They’d say they were worried they’d end up somewhere telling the staff who Black Flag was every week.”

Hawk said the skate community has been dealing with similar concerns:

“There are lifelong skaters who still have the spirit but not the knees. They want support, but they don’t want to feel like they’ve been put out to pasture. We wanted to create a place where they can age safely and still feel like themselves.”

What Makes Line Break Lodge Different

It’s not a novelty-themed resort; it’s a real retirement community with the following features:

• Low-Impact Skate & Movement Courtyard

Not a full skatepark — more like a safe, padded flatground area and micro-ramp for light mobility exercises, balance training, and (for those who can) gentle rolling sessions supervised by physical therapists familiar with skate injuries.

• Music Lounge & Creative Rooms

A soundproofed space for residents to listen to records, share stories, and even play instruments at reasonable volumes. Rollins will hold occasional writing and storytelling workshops.

• “DIY Made Easy” Workshops

Intro classes on simple repairs, art projects, and safe-at-this-age DIY culture taught by local volunteers who understand the community’s roots.

• Healthy but Not Boring Dining

Nutrient-focused meals (approved by medical staff) served in a casual café decorated with local art, old show flyers, and classic skate photos — not floral wallpaper.

• Supportive Seniors-Focused Staff

Training includes cultural awareness of punk and skate history so residents don’t have to repeatedly explain why their tattoos say what they say.

The Tone: Respectful, Not Gimmicky

Rollins stressed that the goal is to offer dignity, not nostalgia cosplay:

“Nobody’s asking 80-year-olds to stage dive. This is real care. We’re just making sure people feel at home, not out of place.”

Hawk added a laugh:

“We’re not encouraging ollies, we’re encouraging community.”

Who’s Signing Up?

Early interest is strong among the first wave of Gen X and late Baby Boomers who lived through early punk shows, backyard ramp scenes, or both. Many say they’ve never pictured themselves in a conventional retirement home but feel comfortable with this blend of practicality and personality.

One prospective resident, 67-year-old former vert skater Tom L., said:

“I don’t need chaos. I just need a place where my knee brace isn’t the weirdest thing in the room.”

A retired punk bassist added:

“As long as they don’t play smooth jazz in the lobby, I’m in.”

Aging, But Not Aging Out

Rollins summed up the mission in his typically direct style:

“You don’t stop being who you are just because you get older. You just live it differently.”

And Hawk agreed:

“If we can help people transition into this stage of life with community and humor, that’s worth doing.”

Individuals experiencing both loneliness and depression had a higher risk of developing dementia compared to those with either condition alone: an additive interaction between loneliness and depression was observed, suggesting synergistic associations with dementia risk.

Interesting new way to use AI. Will this greatly help Doctors and families?

In the American healthcare system, a diagnosis of a chronic illness like Multiple Sclerosis (MS), an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or even a complex mental health disorder is a pivotal moment. Yet, for millions, the real battle begins not with the disease itself, but with a piece of paper: a
