It was a three hour lecture given by Henry Rollins, former frontman of Black Flag and now the frontman of the Rollins Band.
He has released many albums with Black Flag and The Rollins Band, but he has also released books, audio books, and spoken
word albums. He lectured on September 30th, 1995 (my birthday!!!) and it was amazing. He is half-comic and
half-visionary-he can make you laugh at the same time as make you think-he is truly human. He talked for 3 hours straight and it
flew by because I got so enveloped in his thoughts and stuff, that I was surely moved. I highly recommend his spoken word
performances but I have not seen one of his live performances with the Rollins Band, but I am assured that it is as equally
moving. The energy is surely in the room when he speaks for he has seen a lot of the horrors of life and he makes you reflect on
your own experiences. Note: he is not a psychologist but a rocker who is very knowledgeable! *****
