Since emerging from the punk underground with Black Flag in the 1980s, Henry Rollins has been a pop culture super force; aside from musician, he can list writer, DJ, and actor on his packed resume. Currently, he’s in the midst of a 13 month spoken word tour, which hits Crescent Ballroom on December 3rd and 4th, and finds the outspoken punk icon speaking his mind each night.

PHOENIX Magazine interviewed Rollins before the 2016 election but that didn’t stop the conversation from getting political.
