A Tribute to The Henry Rollins Show - Come Back to TV Man!

"...When you exercise your freedom of speech, you shed your fear, and your tolerance for bullshit plummets..." A great segment of the (now defunct?) IFC Henry Rollins Show... You can call it: "Defenders of Free Speech" Well worth listening to again or for the first time..... As of this writing, Henry Rollins is in Australia, in the middle of an eight-month spoken-word tour that is taking him to more than a dozen countries. "When you ask people in other countries what they think of America, they fall over themselves saying they like America," he said. "They are scared of Bush, but they like America. I think they understand the difference between the people and the government." Rollins doesn't worry about traveling to countries where travel isn't recommended because of political instability. "I don't have to wonder 'Will my gal Sally care if I get blowed up?' " he said. "Honestly, I don't care when I die, and that gives me a lot of freedom of movement. I go to places that aren't the wisest choices." When this tour ends, he plans to travel to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. "It is a vacation, if you will, but it's fact-finding. It's the next tour, the next book, the next record, the next DVD," he said. "If your life is going to be source material for the stage, you'd better have one that has a lot of spices in the stew pot." As for the status of his television show.... Fuse ran some censored versions of his show for a while, but I'm not sure of the status...the Rollins show site ...
