Henry Rollins spoken word
 

I've been getting through a bunch of his spoken word albums and it's really surprised me by how good it is. Thought it would be totally self indulgent but I was quite wrong on that one.

Sure he goes on about beating off way to much but the dude's got a pretty sharp sense of humor.

He toured here recently and I'm kicking myself for not hoping on the plane and checking it out. Will definitely be there next time.

Anyone been to the shows or get into the albums?

I love his spoken word pieces. He shows a real understanding of human nature. Two of my favorites are "Can You Speak This?" and "I Know You."

seen it live, he is really funny and smart.

henry rollins is great and black flag was one of the best punk bands ever.

hey neverending, how are you tonight?

I've come to the conclusion lately that Black Flag are my favorite band.

I love that one too. Reminds me of Bukowski.

I seem to find more and more reasons to love this forum everyday.

I was trying to find the "Eric The Pilot" story on Youtube but gave up.

That story is some crazy shit. Guess I dug it a lot because I hate flying :D

All I've heard from him is his Family Man album with Black Flag. Not a fan, comes off as pretentious if you ask me...never much of a fan of Rollins in general. If you ask me, Keith Morris era Black Flag is where its at.

I got The First Five years ago as a Christmas gift (High Adventure in the Great Outdoors, Pissing in the Gene Pool, Bang!, Art to Choke Hearts, and One From None). It isn't brilliant stuff, but it is sincere, raw, and honest, which is even better.

Idk maybe i should check out some of his other stuff though...as long as its not like his "stand up" haha
