HENRY ROLLINS
We could say that this interview is coming to you in the midst of one of Henry Rollins spoken Word tours, but the fact of the matter is that it would be redundant, because apparently, as you will find out, Henry Rollins is never NOT on tour.

This one was actually kind of hard for me.  Not because I didn’t know what to say, quite the opposite.  But because I’ve been such a fan of Rollins’ music and writing for so many years, it was nearly impossible for me not to come out with every question like a stuttering, bumbling fucking fan boy.

Never the less, here it is… an interview more than 15 years in the making with the man, the myth, the liar.
