An excellent recounting.
30. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is a must read for all fans of Henry Rollins' literary journal works. It would be a decent place to start if you were just getting introduced to his work, and an excellent continuation if you've been reading him for years.

Journal of an intense guy
7. März 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
This is Henry Rollin's journal from April to September in 2006. At the end of each day Rollins writes about what happened, or what he is thinking about. During this period he had a radio show, (mostly playing music, not talk radio, I think), hosted a show on IFC where had musical acts and did interviews with people like Kevin Smith, made a movie called Wrong Turn 2, prepped for and went on a tour with The Rollins Band, and occasionally did spoken word shows.
He's a busy, driven person. It makes for some interesting reading. Much of the book has Rollins getting in shape for the movie or the tour - "For me, it's all about August now. It's all about the shows. I am doing work every day. Every day. No days off. Not a single one. I don't know what the hell a day off means. I really don't. A brutal schedule keeps me honest. I don't want to know anyone and don't want anyone to know me."
He's an enigmatic person. He doesn't like being around people, but he hosts a tv interview show and he's the lead singer of a band. He doesn't care much for LA but doesn't move. (I'm sure he had his reasons,they're probably so obvious to him that that's why he doesn't bother to go through them in the book.)
One thing I would note about this book is that it doesn't have the humor that his spoken word stuff does. Here he's kind of writing to himself.

Hank's Summer Could Be Your Whole Life...
6. Juli 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a life long fan of Henry Rollins I have to say that his dedication to his work is amazing. I doubt that most of us have the will to work that he does, and this book (as many of his books do) chronicles a time in his life where he had more to do than most humans could handle. The summer of 2006 saw the reformation and tour of the second and most popular line up of the Rollins Band, as well as Henry's continued work on his T.V. show, radio show, and spoken word engagements. The book serves as his journal during this period, and details Henry's work schedule, sleepless nights, and thoughts on his lifelong struggle with depression and his feeling of detachment from others. I personally found the most interesting parts of the book to be Henry's thoughts on what books he was reading at that time and what music he was listening to. I have always found that any musician or author he is interested in is someone worth checking out. I also thought that his chapter on visiting Henry Miller's house on Big Sur was very interesting, and stood out as one of the highlights of the book. In addition, I found Rollins' habit in this book of documenting what food he ate each day at the end of each journal entry to be particularly inspiring. His diet may help explain how he is able to get so much done; a high protein intake and very little fatty foods must really increase one's productivity! I also found his thoughts on getting the old Rollins Band back together to be fascinating. As a big fan of the music from that period of the band, I was surprised to learn of all the turmoil that surrounded the recording sessions for "Come In And Burn" and how the band had hit a creative wall at that point. His thoughts on the other band members were also enlightening. The only downside to this book is Rollins' tendency to go overboard with his negativity. I know that sounds funny to say, as some of his best work has been a product of his venting, but I found it a little overwhelming at times while reading this book. He makes it very clear that he hates George W. Bush, the Iraq War, and Condeleeza Rice and Dick Cheney, but at times his bitter tone had a tendency to alienate me as a reader, even if I agreed with some of his views. Overall though, this was a great read, and I continue to enjoy getting a peek into Henry's busy life.
