    Henry Rollins “Good to see you.” Tour came to Munich this week.

    Henry Rollins came to fame in the eighties as singer and frontman of California based hardcore punk band Black Flag. 

    Today he works as actor, writer, and spoken word artist. He has had a successful solo music career, written several books, acted in films and TV shows, and continues to perform spoken word shows around the world.

    Rollins is known for his intense and often confrontational style, both in his music and his spoken word performances, where he covers a wide range of topics including politics, social issues, and personal experiences. 

    In particular his personal experiences I find inspirational. And I wanted to share an impression from the show.

    Quote:

    “I beg young people to travel. If you don’t have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown, eat interesting food, dig some interesting people, have an adventure, be careful.”

    “Come back and you’re going to see your country differently, you’re going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter. You’re going to get a sense of what globalization looks like. It’s not what Tom Friedman writes about, I’m sorry. You’re going to see that global climate change is very real. And that for some people, their day consists of walking 12 miles for four buckets of water.”

    “And so, there are lessons that you can’t get out of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A lot of people – Americans and Europeans – come back and go “ohhhhh.”

    “And the lightbulb goes on.”
