By 1986, he was Henry Rollins, a punk rock icon living in a garden shed, muscles covered in scars and tattoos, breathing a sigh of relief that his band had broken up and he didn’t have to be a rock star anymore. In 1981, Henry Lawrence Garfield was scooping ice cream at a Haagen-Danz in Washington D.C. Famous for his imposing physique – picture a bodybuilder covered in tattoos, often performing in only a pair of gym shorts – and his remarkable work ethic, Rollins is an intense character, and this is certainly evident in this book, which covers his early twenties. If idle hands are the Devil’s playground, then the Devil has never met Henry. Since 1981, he has worked non-stop, travelling to almost every country on earth, either as front-man for two successful bands or performing spoken word, releasing dozens of albums and playing thousands of shows. He is a spoken word performer, actor, writer, musician, songwriter and activist, and also a punk rock legend. Today, at almost sixty, Rollins’ body of work is formidable.
