hear henry rollins speak

I’ve seen Henry Rollins live 5 times now; given the average length of his show, that means I’ve spent about fifteen hours in his presence. He’s a really good speaker, playing with the audience, bringing them up and down with ease. And he moves through different kinds of performance without jarring interruptions: political rant, travel stories, celebrity anecdotes. Every time I see him I feel like I want to write him a letter and tell him how inspirational he is. But I often feel like I’ll just get a letter back that says “Duly noted.” Ah well. He’s a good speaker, anyhow.
