An Evening of Spoken Word

Henry Rollins is a post-punk renaissance man. In addition to making albums with the Rollins Band, he writes books and poetry, performs spoken-word tours, and appears in movies and on television. The former lead singer for Black Flag became a kind of father figure for many alternative bands on the strength of albums like The End of Silence, Weight and Come In and Burn. He hosts the weekly radio show Harmony in My Head and recently finished the second season of his television talk show. Rollins, who won a Grammy Award for his spoken-word performance, is on a new world tour titled Provoked: An Evening of Quintessentially American Opinionated Editorializing and Storytelling.
