Henry Rollins (real birth name:Henry Lawrence Garfield) is a singer and songwriter, spoken word artist, author, actor, publisher and talk show television host.
Henry first started making music with his Washington D.C. based band called State of Alert in 1980, Rollins then received a call one day and was asking to come out to California to front the hardcore punk band Black Flag from 1981 until 1986. Following the bands breakup, Rollins soon established the record label and publishing company 2.13.61 to release his spoken word albums, as well as forming the Rollins Band, which toured with a number of lineups until 2003 and during 2006.
Since Black Flag, Rollins has embarked on projects covering a variety of media. He has hosted numerous radio shows, and television shows, such as MTV's 120 Minutes and Jackass, along with roles in several films. Henry also hosts his own television show The Henry Rollins Show and Harmony In My Head. Rollins has also campaigned for human rights in the United States, promoting gay rights in particular, and tours overseas with the United Service Organizations to entertain American troops.
What Henry Means To Me
At the ripe age of 13 I was first introduced to who Henry Rollins was when i would stay up late and watch MTV's 120 minutes. To be honest when I first saw the guy I thought, "I would never want to meet this man, he's so angry!" After time I began to love the guy. Henry's spoken word is what really got to me tho. The guy can be incredibly funny in that unusual, "it's sad but it's true" kinda way. His political view point has definitely had an impact on me as I have grown older over the years, and I am always interested in what Henry has to say about any given subject matter.
