Black Coffee Blues

'If you hate your parents, the man or the establishment, don't show them up by getting wasted and wrapping your car around a tree. If you really want to rebel against your parents: outearn them, outlive them, and know more than they do.' Henry Rollins has a unique hard-edged view of the world. A renowned spoken word performer, musician, actor and author of several books, this collection of writings from 1989-1991, is the classic Rollins book. From dramatic fiction shorts detailing stark, disturbing realities to gut-wrenching tour journals destroying all misconceptions of the glamour of fame and the music industry; from challenging poetry to revealing dream sequences, Rollins' writing is unflinching in its honesty, uncompromising in its truth and insatiably addictive.
