Henry Rollins

A few nights ago, I finished the last show of a tour that started in January. I have done 188 shows in 19 countries this year. I should be tired of being onstage, tired of the hustle, etc., but I am not. Quite the opposite, actually. The fact that it's......

KCRW Broadcast #193 for Saturday, December 8, 2012 See also: Henry Rollins: A Death in the Family Fanatics! We are back with you live, almost all of us. Engineer X is out this weekend but Young Will Bentley will be on deck, so two thirds of the Big Three will......

I am in San Francisco. It is a Saturday night and I should have been in Los Angeles watching The Stooges at Staples Center. I would have had a great show to write about, but Morrissey, who was closing the show for The Stooges, canceled and the entire gig was......

KCRW Broadcast #192 for Saturday, December 1, 2012 See also: Henry Rollins: Coming to an End Fanatics! Here we go into December. A five Saturday month that allows for some serious concepting. I know I wrote you about our Bowie fest that we are about to start and so, tonight,......

It's a night off in Chicago. All the New York shows are behind me and now I have three here starting tomorrow night. I have been doing shows here since 1981. The first one was one of the most memorable and instructive. I had just joined Black Flag. I was......

I am in the middle of a week of shows in New York City and living in the Soho Grand Hotel. Every evening, I walk an uptown mile to Joe's Pub, my place of employ, hit stage at 21:00 hrs., finish, eat and then walk back here. The venue is......

KCRW Broadcast #191 for Saturday, November 24, 2012 Fanatics! This started off as one thing and ended up being another. Initially, this show was based around the fact that the Stooges were playing in Los Angeles on this night at the Staples Center with Morrissey going on later as the......

KCRW Broadcast #190 for Saturday, November 17, 2012 Fanatics! I am in Chicago tonight. I figured it would be worthwhile to address that for at least a few songs. For a good part of our first hour, we will do just that. After our Chicago Jam Session, you will notice......

10/29/12: As I sit here in Boston on a night off, I can see Hurricane Sandy-powered sheets of rain lashing the sidewalk. For the last two days, media outlets have been hyping the storm like it's a pay-per-view professional wrestling event. Programmed to want it all now, I almost found......

I am in Washington DC right now. The time before the winner of the presidency was announced was peppered with joyful moments. Akin gone, Mourdock done, Walsh finished, Scott Brown will be pulling Elizabeth Warren's shoe out of his ass for weeks to come. George Allen conceding in real time......
