The Truth About Bad Behavior

Henry Rollins discusses his tumultuous childhood growing up in Washington DC, and how he transitioned from scooping ice cream at Haagen Dazs to fronting punk rock band Black Flag. A turning point came for Henry Rollins about a decade ago, marked by a departure from music into activism and spoken word performance,  "For me, music was a time and a place. I never really enjoyed being in a band. It was in me, and it needed to come out. Like a 25-year exorcism. One day I woke up and I didn't have any more lyrics."
