Description:
Solo performer: Henry Rollins (spoken vocals). Additional personnel: Ian Bussieres. Recorded live in Dublin, Ireland; Sydney, Australia; Los Angeles, San Francisco, California. Includes liner notes by Henry Rollins. When he started out as the singer for California punks Black Flag, few would have guessed that Henry Rollins would become a renaissance man--actor, author, publisher, record label maven, etc. Even fewer would have guessed he'd become successful as a spoken-word artist, delighting packed houses the world over with nothing but his tart observations on modern life. THE BOXED LIFE, a double-disc set, is the definitive Rollins spoken-word recording, an excellent entry point into this aspect of "Hank"'s career. His thoughts on everything from loneliness to sexual politics to air travel are expressed with a mixture of sarcastic humor and genuine emotion, as Rollins reveals himself to be part standup comic, part post-Lenny Bruce social commentator, part Twilight Zone Spalding Gray.
