Henry Rollins/Charlie Kaufman on The Hour

Musician (Black Flag, Rollins Band), author, activist, USO performer, publisher, public speaker, t.v. host, deejay, actor, and one of my personal heroes, Henry Rollins, appeared on the Canadian program, The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos on Monday. Watch the video here.



Charlie Kaufman gave a brief interview on the program as well. Check it out here.

I thought his responses on the Charlie Rose program were more insightful. That's here.
