The Henry Rollins Show

While still as in-your-face as when he fronted Black Flag, Henry Rollins has been tempered by time, travel and life experience. On his new show, Rollins moves with seamless ease from vitriolic political commentary to stories of his world travels filled with childlike awe and wonder. He has a finely tuned bullshit meter and tolerates nothing short of absolute honesty from his guests, the media, our political and social leaders, and—most of all—himself. Rollins’ broad knowledge of literature, history and current events, combined with the eclectic mix of interview and musical guests, makes this one of the best talk shows on television. And, for those of us without satellite or some other zillion-channel setup, all segments are archived on the Web site at http://henryrollins.ifc.com.
