Rocker, author, radio host, and activist Henry Rollins talks with Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio about everything from the legacy of George W. Bush, to the Iraq War, to the failures of the mainstream,
corporate-controlled media. Henry is a true Renaissance Man, and possibly one of the greatest intellectual thinkers around today. He is currently on his "Recountdown" tour, and you can find out more information about upcoming dates by visiting his website at http://henryrollins.com/.

3. In 2002, he was talking about how great Donald Rumsfeld was and stuff.

He's an entertaining character to be sure, but he doesn't know shit about politics. I love his humor-based spoken word stuff, but anytime most of these celebrities start talking about issues of substance, they just sound like uninformed idiots.

6. seems like a decent humanitarian to me

he could be gettin stoned but instead he travels the world and tries to do some good.
yes?

4. S.O.A. was a good band n/t

[The Doctor.]

8. I used to listen to Black Flag when he was the lead.

Long... long ago.

Always been a brilliant social philosopher.

Have to read "Pissing in the Gene Pool" again.

9. I still listen to Black Flag although I think Dez was the best vocalist n/t

5. Man, he is the truth.

7. And now, a little musical interlude...

I think Henry would approve. Suicidal Tendencies

I'm still pissed that IFC dropped the Rollins Show. Oh well. It was great while it lasted.
