henry rollins - a mad dash




henry rollins is a fascinating figure becuase he so full of dichotimies. he is focused and tough yet funny. intelligent yet innocent. at heart, henry's angry image and outlook betray an insecurity at his core. in his travel journal form 2008, called a mad dash, this insecurity is laid bare. henry walks empty european streets, looking for solace and worrying about attendance at his shows and still grieving over his dead best friend joe. he reads incessantly and goes crazy if he is not constantly moving.. refusing to let life get the best of him. a lot of this tome is simply written, but pure drive and a crystal vision make this both touching and inspirational.
