Performance: An Evening of Spoken Word

Henry Rollins has emerged as a post-punk renaissance man. In addition to making albums with the Rollins Band, he is writing books and poetry, performing spoken-word tours, writing a magazine column in Details, acting in several movies, and appearing on MTV as an occasional VJ. All the while, he has kept his artistic integrity, becoming a kind of father figure for many alternative bands of the '90s on the strength of albums like 1992's The End of Silence, 1994's Weight and1997's Come In and Burn. He won a Grammy Award for his spoken word performance which has been described as part storytelling, part social commentary, part spontaneous cranial combustion. Free Admission
