Fanatic! Thank you so much for coming back. Last time around, I was faced with some challenges in developing the manuscript. If Stay Fanatic!!! Vol. 2 was only going to take in 2016, it would have been too short. If I included the writing from 2017 as well, it would have been too much, even by Fanatic standards. I decided to put the two years of writing together, divide the word count in half and round to the nearest month. If you’re expecting a radical divergence in subject matter this time around, forget it! We’re going to check out rare records, interesting clippings, obsess over the minuscule and wade through tributaries of information, notebooks out and headlamps on full. This time around, I decided not to use 7”s on the cover but instead, bootleg LPs. I figured it would make things interesting. I started work on this immediately after finishing SF!!! V2 and it’s only now, a good way into 2021, that we have concluded work on the manuscript and scans. In an effort to dig the “nothing new here” trench even deeper, work on the next installment has commenced. I know. As I said in the previous volume, if I could stop, I would. Thanks again for investing your time in this “Really, HR, this is a bit much” endeavor. Stay Fanatic!!! — Henry 07-27-21 Los Angeles, CA

In describing Henry Rollins, the tendency is to try to squeeze as many labels as possible into a single sentence. “Rollins is many things, ” says The Washington Post, “diatribist, confessor, provocateur, humorist, even motivational speaker…his is an enthusiastic and engaging chatter.” Entertainment Weekly’s list includes “Punk Rock icon. Spoken word poet. Actor. Author. DJ. Is there anything this guy can’t do?” TV Guide has more concisely called him a “Renaissance Man” but if Henry Rollins could be reduced to a single word, that word would undoubtedly be “workaholic.” When he’s not traveling, Rollins prefers a to keep a relentless schedule full of work, with gigs as an actor, author, DJ, voice-over artist and TV show host to name a few of the roles that keep his schedule full. Rollins has toured the world as a spoken word artist, as frontman for both Rollins Band and Black Flag and as a solitary traveler with insatiable curiosity, favoring road-less-traveled locales in places such as Nepal, Sri Lanka, Siberia, North Korea, South Sudan and Iran.Author• Author of more than 30 books, including Black Coffee Blues, Get in the Van, Solipsist, Roomanitarian and Broken Summers• The travelogue series, A Grim Detail, A Mad Dash, A Preferred Blur and A Dull Roar documents Henry’s travels through Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.• The Before the Chop series (parts I-III) compile Henry’s LA Weekly articles in their original, unedited form.• Occupants, features photos and essays from Henry’s international travels.
