More than 25 years ago, Henry Rollins made a name for himself as the frenzied, tattooed front man for the hardcore punk band Black Flag. While many of his contemporaries have long since disappeared from the stage, Rollins is still performing. Each year, Rollins keeps a busy schedule of spoken-word performances. A typical show consists of Rollins reporting his thoughts on what he has been seeing and feeling - and like his other work, he does not shy away from expressing the pain and frustration he feels living in today's world. "The Henry Rollins Show", on the Independent Film Channel, turned out to be a real gem, with Rollins critiquing music and pop culture as well as hosting film actors, directors, and others. A unique talent to be sure.
