Check out this awesome interview with Rollins on Bookslut. He talks about his books; one of my favorite authors, Henry Miller; and other topics of interest.

Henry Rollins & Henry Miller
I never really held as much respect for Henry Rollins as the man deserves until I saw him speak at the Buskirk Chumley Theatre in Bloomington, IN over a year ago. He spoke for over three hours, sails at full-mast, engines revving the whole time. I was riveted. I remember leaving the venue and just thinking, "Holy shit. What an intelligent man." I felt as if I'd run mental marathon and was experiencing the post-run high. He's full of insights on everything ranging from foreign policy to F. Scott Fitzgerald. I'd never attended a spoken work performance of any kind before and I don't know if I ever can again - Rollins set the bar too high.
