Artist of the Week - Henry Rollins


Here's a couple live tracks from Henry's Black Flag days. If you want to learn more about Rollins's time with the Flag check out Get in the Van : On the Road With Black Flag. This book is filled with Henry's journal entries from his time with the band. It chronicles Henry's transformation from the manager of a Häagen-Daz ice cream store to fronting one of America's most revolutionary punk bands. (I've read it a few times over the years.) Some fans say Henry's time in the band ruined Black Flag but I happen to enjoy all the band's incarnations. Go!!!

Modern Man

My War

Both songs can be found on the live Who's Got the 10 1/2? Album
