And if you\u2019re a long time listener, we think you\u2019ll enjoy hearing this gem again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>From Feb. 29, 2020: <em>With America disrupted and divided like never before in our lifetime, what better time to sit down with the American icon, punk rock legend, thought-leader, author, political activist and spoken-word master, Henry Rollins (<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/henryrollins\"><em>@HenryRollins<\/em><\/a><em>). Henry is one of the most interesting, most experienced, most entertaining, most thought-provoking activists in the world. And a conscience for America.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Henry Rollins has been a music and cultural innovator for three decades. From his early days as the front man for Black Flag and The Rollins Band, to films to TV to books to hosting his own radio and TV show, Henry is a voice of power, insight and clarity. He\u2019s journeyed around the world as a curious traveller, a musician and and touring for his music and spoken word shows. He\u2019s seen over 100 countries, been to war zones, won a Grammy, and acted alongside Al Pacino. He\u2019s an activist for gay rights, freeing of the \u201cWest Memphis Three\u201d, legalization of cannabis and has performed for US troops on USO tours in Djibouti, Kuwait, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan (twice), Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, Honduras, Japan, Korea and the United Arab Emirates. If you love Henry Rollins, this will give you a fix like you\u2019ve never had before. If you don\u2019t know Henry Rollins, welcome to a ride you won\u2019t forget. He\u2019s a great American success story. And he\u2019s known our host, Paul Rieckhoff (<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paulrieckhoff\"><em>@PaulRieckhoff<\/em><\/a><em>), for almost two decades. And before a live audience in Hollywood on Valentine\u2019s Day, they candidly, rapid-fire rip through topics ranging from Henry\u2019s epic breakout moment on a New York stage in 1981, to how technology is ruining dating, to his analysis on all the leading candidates for President.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s an amazing conversation to inspire&#8211;and to help you stay vigilant. Because eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
