Henry Rollins

Real Conversations, Number 1 Henry Rollins

Real Conversations No. 1 is a collection of lengthy interviews
with indie-media luminaries Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, Billy Childish,
and Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
These punks and poets extemporize passionately, angrily, hopefully,
fearfully, and humorously on how to stay independent in a corporatized
world, covering everything from SUVs, the WTO, and the prison industry
to visual art, punk music, independent presses, and artistic and
political protest. Filled with controversial, sometimes conflicting, and
occasionally unexpected commentary born of years of artistic, industry,
and political experience, this book appeals to a broad cross-section of
progressive artists, writers, independent publishers, producers,
skateboarders, intellectuals, and activists. These funny, entertaining,
enlightening, deep discussions about the sources of creativity,
philosophy, ethics, and the meaning of life are inspiring and
provocative.
