Henry Rollins

    13. únor 1961

    Henry Rollins je známý svou expresivní a často konfrontační tvorbou, která zkoumá témata identity, politiky a lidské zkušenosti. Jeho psaní, ať už v poezii, próze nebo jako mluvené slovo, se vyznačuje syrovou upřímností a intelektuální zvídavostí. Prostřednictvím své rozsáhlé publikační činnosti a veřejných vystoupení si vybudoval jedinečnou pozici umělce, který se nebojí klást nepříjemné otázky a hledat hlubší významy v moderním světě.

      These interviews with Henry Rollins conducted by RE/Search (and Search & Destroy) founder V. Vale focus on Henry's travels -- often to countries considered dangerous and off-limits. There are references to Punk Rock history, the Occupy movement, and numerous personal adventures and experiences over the past 30-plus years of combing the planet giving musical and Spoken Word performances, and generally being as creative and humorous as possible no matter what the situation may be. Whatever Henry wants to do, he does it while giving his full attention, like a kind of Zen master. RE/Search tries to reveal the full scope of his creativity, achievements and darkly sardonic perceptiveness and contempt for cliche. This book is full of both humor and inspiration.

      2007 was a very busy year for Henry Rollins. He traveled to Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Pakistan, where he was staying when Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated. While traveling, Rollins performed numerous spoken word shows and worked on films, his IFC television show, and Harmony in My Head, his popular weekly radio show. In short, a quintessentially Rollins-ian sleepless, nonstop, and highly productive. A Preferred Blur contains stories written in the form of journal entries from Rollins’ travels throughout the year. As in his other travel-related books and journals, Rollins — Detail magazine’s 1994 Man of the Year — writes not only about his own life and work, but of music, current affairs, and the world around him with humor, insight, and brutal honesty.

      Punk Love

      Celebrating friendships that have been bound together by music since 1979, Susie J. Horgan's largely unpublished images were taken as friend and participant on the music scene, rather than as a journalist, and are both an exceptional contribution to the history of punk as well as a true reflection of punk values. She captured iconic photographs of such hardcore legends as Minor Threat, S.O.A., Teen Idles, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, The Cramps, Untouchables, Youth Brigade, the Germs, and many others. Punk Love documents specifically the birth of the early Washington, D.C., punk movement in 1979. D.C. punk was a different kind of punk. It was hardcore. It was explosive. It was revolutionary. But people misread punk rock as being about hate and anger. It was spiritual. It was about self-respect and justice-basic morals and values. This is punk love.

      Další sada Rollinsových poznámek, postřehů a deníkových zápisů, které navazují na úspěšnou knihu Blues černýho kafe. Kromě již pro Rollinse typických sžíravých komentářů na téma vztahů (muž x žena, kapela x fanoušci, života x smrt) kniha obsahuje i velmi trefné charakteristiky mnoha osobností ze světa popu a šoubyznysu vůbec – např. Isaaca Hayese, Davida Lee Rotha či Johna Lee Hookera.

Usually blunt and visceral, his words make no apology and don't hold back, earning him die hard fans and harsh criticism alike.
