Henry Rollins

If you are a fan of music, in particular rock music of the punk, indie, electronic, jazz, or noise varieties, this book is a fun read. As the book is composed of 100 of Henry's LA Weekly articles,written over a couple of years, there is some repetition. Example: Henry's love of Iggy Pop. But it's all in good fun and fanatic fandom, and is quite infectious. Very different from a lot of Henry's heavier writing. Funny and well-done. You will want to listen to more music after this book.

Great interviews. Lots of fun.

This was a quick read. Some of the stories you will have heard before if you have listened to or read Henry, but some of his thoughts on travel, travel preparation, and lots of other stuff are pretty insightful. I think I'm just kind of fascinated because Henry goes EVERYWHERE. So when he talks about some place, you know he's had the first-hand experience.

Really enjoyed this, though it took me several months to read. It is not a one-sitting read. It is kind of a dark stream of consciousness poetic screed -- BUT it is full of some really great quotes, some of them really very funny. It is not for those who are new to Henry's writing.
