Hi, the other day someone recommended to listen to some of his "Spoken Word" Tour recordings.

 

This is his website: http://21361.com/

And here's a wiki excerpt

Henry Rollins (born February 13, 1961 as Henry Lawrence Garfield) is an American singer-songwriter, raconteur, stand-up comedian, spoken word artist, writer, publisher, actor, radio DJ, and activist. After joining the short-lived Washington D.C.-based band State of Alert in 1980, Rollins fronted the California hardcore punk band Black Flag from 1981 until 1986. Following the band's breakup, Rollins soon established the record label and publishing company 2.13.61 to release his spoken word albums, as well as forming the Rollins Band, which toured with a number of lineups until 2003 and during 2006.

 

Since Black Flag, Rollins has embarked on projects covering a variety of media. He has hosted numerous radio shows, such as Harmony In My Head on Indie 103, and television shows, such as The Henry Rollins Show, MTV's 120 Minutes,and Jackass. He had a recurring dramatic role as a white supremacist in the second season of Sons of Anarchy and has also had roles in several films. Rollins has also campaigned for human rights in the United States, promoting gay rights in particular, and tours overseas with the United Service Organizations to entertain American troops.

 

I found lots of recordings here:

The guy who told me about him is a big fan and collects recordings, he said every night he's telling different stories or if it's the same story, it's told differently.

 

I just started listening to some stuff but wanted to ask you if he's well known?

Do you know him?

He had some acting roles but I had no idea he was touring with his spoken word programme for such a long time and doing all that stuff that's listed in the wiki excerpt for example. :stunned:

 

I just listened to a recording from 1990 where he talks about "almost killing Bono". :laugh4:

Only interested in Black Flag...and Thom Yorke's performance on his tv show...
