In 1980, 'Henry Rollins' (qv) was a teenager living in Arlington,
Virginia, USA, just over the river from Washington, DC. He worked
as the shift manager for a Haagen-Dazs ice cream shop near
Georgetown University, and was a huge fan of a Southern California
punk rock band called Black Flag. One day, Henry and his friend Ian
MacKaye (who later formed Fugazi) drove to New York City to see
Black Flag play at the Peppermint Lounge. They played later at a
small club down the street, and Henry jumped on stage and took the
mike for a song. A few days later, Henry was called back to New
York to audition for the band. Henry spent the next six years
riding in vans, sleeping in the back of trucks, getting beaten and
mauled on stage, and fronting the baddest, most primal rock and
roll band in the history of the world. Since 1986, Henry has
enjoyed a more pleasant lifestyle and career as a singer. He is a
published (and often lucid) poet. His band, Rollins Band, was a
highlight of the Woodstock '94 concert. His autobiography, Get In
The Van, is available in print and as a self-narrated compact disc.
He has written several articles for Details, an American magazine.
