In recent years H. R. 's performances have been markedly more mellow and restrained, focusing primarily on reggae, and Rastafarianism. This is a stark contrast to his wildly animated, aggressive stage performances of the late 70s and 1980s. [1] H. R. 's persona, once that of a leonine, no-nonsense, and politically vocal Rasta has also mellowed considerably. He is often seen on stage displaying a sort of Cheshire Cat grin and standing singularly at the microphone. The Cheshire Cat is a fictional cat appearing in Lewis Carroll 's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. H. R. 's interviews in recent years have also been quite eccentric and free-form, bordering on non-sensical and amusing. His eccentricities, however, have done little to diminish Bad Brains popularity or his own as a solo artist. H. R. currently resides in El Paso, TX playing local and international gigs with the Dubb Agents.
