  <description><![CDATA[Henry Rollins is an artist whose legendary, no-holds-barred performances encompasses music, acting, and written and spoken word.  As <strong>Details</strong> magazine said when it named Rollins the 1994 Man of the Year: &quot;through two decades of rage and discipline, Henry Rollins has transformed himself from an L.A. punk rocker into a universal soldier.  His enemies: slackers and hypocrites.  His mission: to steel your soul and rock your world.&quot;<br/><br/>Rollins was frontman for the seminal punk band Black Flag, and since 1987 has led the Rollins Band, whose ninth album, <strong>Come In and Burn</strong>, was just released by DreamWorks.<br/><br/>As a spoken-word artist, he regularly performs at colleges and theaters worldwide and has released eight spoken-word audiotapes.  His album <strong>Get in the Van</strong> won the Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for 1995.  As an actor, he has appeared in <strong>The Chase, Johnny Mnemonic, Heat</strong>, and David Lynch's forthcoming film, <strong>Lost Highway</strong>.  <br/><br/>From his days as front man for the band Black Flag and the current Rollins Band to his books and spoken-word audiotapes, Henry Rollins is the music, the attitude, and the voice that takes no prisoners.  In his twelve books, he has led us on a hallucinatory journey through the decades--and his mind--with poems, essays, short stories, diary entries, and rants that exist at &quot;the frayed edges where reality ends and imagination begins&quot; (Publishers Weekly).  For the first time, the best of his legendary, no-holds-barred writings are available.  This collection includes new photos and works from such seminal Rollins books as:<br/><br/><strong>High Adventure in the Great Outdoors<br/>Art to Choke Hearts<br/>Bang!<br/>Black Coffee Blues<br/>Get in the Van<br/>Do I Come Here Often?<br/>Solipsist</strong><br/><br/>Plus never before released stories and more...]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Henry Rollins is an artist whose legendary, no-holds-barred performances encompasses music, acting, and written and spoken word.  As <strong>Details</strong> magazine said when it named Rollins the 1994 Man of the Year: &quot;through two decades of rage and discipline, Henry Rollins has transformed himself from an L.A. punk rocker into a universal soldier.  His enemies: slackers and hypocrites.  His mission: to steel your soul and rock your world.&quot;<br/><br/>Rollins was frontman for the seminal punk band Black Flag, and since 1987 has led the Rollins Band, whose ninth album, <strong>Come In and Burn</strong>, was just released by DreamWorks.<br/><br/>As a spoken-word artist, he regularly performs at colleges and theaters worldwide and has released eight spoken-word audiotapes.  His album <strong>Get in the Van</strong> won the Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for 1995.  As an actor, he has appeared in <strong>The Chase, Johnny Mnemonic, Heat</strong>, and David Lynch's forthcoming film, <strong>Lost Highway</strong>.  <br/><br/>From his days as front man for the band Black Flag and the current Rollins Band to his books and spoken-word audiotapes, Henry Rollins is the music, the attitude, and the voice that takes no prisoners.  In his twelve books, he has led us on a hallucinatory journey through the decades--and his mind--with poems, essays, short stories, diary entries, and rants that exist at &quot;the frayed edges where reality ends and imagination begins&quot; (Publishers Weekly).  For the first time, the best of his legendary, no-holds-barred writings are available.  This collection includes new photos and works from such seminal Rollins books as:<br/><br/><strong>High Adventure in the Great Outdoors<br/>Art to Choke Hearts<br/>Bang!<br/>Black Coffee Blues<br/>Get in the Van<br/>Do I Come Here Often?<br/>Solipsist</strong><br/><br/>Plus never before released stories and more...]]>

    <![CDATA[Henry Rollins is an artist whose legendary, no-holds-barred performances encompasses music, acting, and written and spoken word.  As <strong>Details</strong> magazine said when it named Rollins the 1994 Man of the Year: &quot;through two decades of rage and discipline, Henry Rollins has transformed himself from an L.A. punk rocker into a universal soldier.  His enemies: slackers and hypocrites.  His mission: to steel your soul and rock your world.&quot;<br/><br/>Rollins was frontman for the seminal punk band Black Flag, and since 1987 has led the Rollins Band, whose ninth album, <strong>Come In and Burn</strong>, was just released by DreamWorks.<br/><br/>As a spoken-word artist, he regularly performs at colleges and theaters worldwide and has released eight spoken-word audiotapes.  His album <strong>Get in the Van</strong> won the Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for 1995.  As an actor, he has appeared in <strong>The Chase, Johnny Mnemonic, Heat</strong>, and David Lynch's forthcoming film, <strong>Lost Highway</strong>.  <br/><br/>From his days as front man for the band Black Flag and the current Rollins Band to his books and spoken-word audiotapes, Henry Rollins is the music, the attitude, and the voice that takes no prisoners.  In his twelve books, he has led us on a hallucinatory journey through the decades--and his mind--with poems, essays, short stories, diary entries, and rants that exist at &quot;the frayed edges where reality ends and imagination begins&quot; (Publishers Weekly).  For the first time, the best of his legendary, no-holds-barred writings are available.  This collection includes new photos and works from such seminal Rollins books as:<br/><br/><strong>High Adventure in the Great Outdoors<br/>Art to Choke Hearts<br/>Bang!<br/>Black Coffee Blues<br/>Get in the Van<br/>Do I Come Here Often?<br/>Solipsist</strong><br/><br/>Plus never before released stories and more...]]>

    <![CDATA[Henry Rollins is an artist whose legendary, no-holds-barred performances encompasses music, acting, and written and spoken word.  As <strong>Details</strong> magazine said when it named Rollins the 1994 Man of the Year: &quot;through two decades of rage and discipline, Henry Rollins has transformed himself from an L.A. punk rocker into a universal soldier.  His enemies: slackers and hypocrites.  His mission: to steel your soul and rock your world.&quot;<br/><br/>Rollins was frontman for the seminal punk band Black Flag, and since 1987 has led the Rollins Band, whose ninth album, <strong>Come In and Burn</strong>, was just released by DreamWorks.<br/><br/>As a spoken-word artist, he regularly performs at colleges and theaters worldwide and has released eight spoken-word audiotapes.  His album <strong>Get in the Van</strong> won the Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for 1995.  As an actor, he has appeared in <strong>The Chase, Johnny Mnemonic, Heat</strong>, and David Lynch's forthcoming film, <strong>Lost Highway</strong>.  <br/><br/>From his days as front man for the band Black Flag and the current Rollins Band to his books and spoken-word audiotapes, Henry Rollins is the music, the attitude, and the voice that takes no prisoners.  In his twelve books, he has led us on a hallucinatory journey through the decades--and his mind--with poems, essays, short stories, diary entries, and rants that exist at &quot;the frayed edges where reality ends and imagination begins&quot; (Publishers Weekly).  For the first time, the best of his legendary, no-holds-barred writings are available.  This collection includes new photos and works from such seminal Rollins books as:<br/><br/><strong>High Adventure in the Great Outdoors<br/>Art to Choke Hearts<br/>Bang!<br/>Black Coffee Blues<br/>Get in the Van<br/>Do I Come Here Often?<br/>Solipsist</strong><br/><br/>Plus never before released stories and more...]]>
