Henry Rollins: Hardcore Punk, Writer, Actor, Fundraiser, Spoken Word Artist, Publisher, Renaissance Man.

No one can deny that Henry Rollins is a renaissance man. The man is the famous singer of the 80s punk vanguards, Black Flag, and the loud and in your face, Rollins Band. The man has been on singing or talking tours since he left his sucky straight world job at the age of 20. He started his own publishing company 2.13.61 to publish his dozen manuscripts and those of other great musician/writers like Nick Cave and Exene Cervenka.

Henry can be seen in The Chase, Johnny Mnemonic, Heat, Lost Highway and other movies, some great, some just another credit to this mans manic work ethics. He is a spoken word artist, comedian, social commentator, benefit fundraiser and USO entertainer. Hes been called a jackass of tirades and a low budget renaissance man by Big Brother. Henry Rollins is The Man.

He is currently on tour, sharing his comedic and political spoken word with Canadians, the wisecracking East Coast, the laid back West Coast, and God save us, hellish Middle America. I got the chance to see Citizen Rollins tell us good ole Americans about his USO stint, his universal leftist opinions on Bush, and to celebrate our freedoms and rights here in the USA. He delivers his intelligent and crude banter with hard intensity that makes you shake in your seat with laughter at his intransigent take on the absurdity of life.

Rollins has pegged the universal feelings of despair, disgust, revulsion and straight out denial of the worst of the human experience in his varied bodies of work.

Before we go into the show, which was the best three hours I spent sitting down in the last couple of months, for sure, I want to give you some insight on why I wanted to feature The Man. I grew up in LA and punk rock was always in the background of my upbringing. I was never a punker, because if I tried, I would most likely come off as a poser, at best. I appreciated the hard sensibilities of punk and it made sense to my pissed-off adolescent self. I heard Black Flag in high school and whenever my family took off shopping for the day, I would listen to my shitty cassette copy as I vented in my "poems" journal. I liked Henrys simple lyrical structure. Lyrics such as "There was a girl I knew, She saw the prison inside, She cursed her keeper, And swore shed get free," and " It hurts to be alone" and "Love, nothing left inside," all made sense to my estranged upbringing.
