Get in the Van by Henry Rollins

Get in the Van by Henry Rollins

As a member of the seminal punk band Black Flag, Henry Rollins kept detailed tour diaries that form the basis of>Get in the Van . Rollins's observations range from the wry to the raucous in this blistering account of a six-year career with the band - a time marked by crazed fans, vicious cops, near-starvation, substance abuse, and mind numbing all-night drives. Rollins decided to revise this edition by adding a wealth of new photographs, a new foreword, and an afterword to include some where-are-they-now information on the people featured in the book. This new edition includes 40 previously unpublished black-and-white photographs from Rollins's private collection and show flyers by artist Raymond Pettibon. Called a soul-frying experience not to be undertaken by lightweights by>Wired magazine, Get in the Van perfectly embodies what one critic called the secular gospel of one of punk and post-punk's most respected and controversial figures.

Henry Garfield started singing in the DC punk band State of Alert before changing his name and becoming a legendary punk figure as frontman for Black Flag and his own Rollins Band. He started acting after doing several ads and MTV appearances, and his tattooed, musclebound body and gravel voice was a natural for tough guy roles in Hollywood features. Henry Rollins is the author of several books, and is also a renowned spoken word performer, making countless appearances at theatres and colleges worldwide.
