About Capitalism
Henry Rollins traverses 50 states with a politically-themed talk show, culminating with an election-eve performance in Washington D.C. on November 5th. This two-month tour will stop in each state capital -- starting September 6 at Hawaiian Brian's in Honolulu, HI, venturing through places like the Diamond Ball Room in Oklahoma City, T.F. Riggs High School in Pierre, South Dakota and ending up in Washington, D.C., Henry's hometown. Henry's latest tour offers not so much a voting guide, but an unveiling of Henry's very own political viewpoint -- an unflinching quest for truth.
About Henry Rollins
For better than a quarter century, Henry Rollins has toured the world as a spoken word artist, as frontman for both Rollins Band and Black Flag and -- without a microphone -- as a solitary traveler with insatiable curiosity. When he's not living out of a suitcase, Rollins is constantly at work as an actor, radio DJ, author of more than 20 books, and running his publishing company and record label 2.13.61. Henry currently hosts a weekly radio show on L.A.'s renowned NPR affiliate KCRW, and is a regular contributor to VanityFair.com with his "Straight Talk Espresso" blog.

Favorite Protest Songs | Henry Rollins' Capitalism: Nashville, Tennessee | TakePart TV
You may know that
Henry Rollins came to The Belcourta few weeks back in order to "yank capitalism's crank," as they say. You may also know that
he dropped by beloved local record shop Grimey's, where
he bought a bunch of stuff. But, I ask, did you know that he filmed a segment for his
TakePart TVseries, Henry Rollins' Capitalism?
The general theme of the segment — which you can watch above — is "Favorite Protest Songs." But as Mr. Rollins is wont to do, he drifts on and off topic, talking about Black Flag (naturally), Bikini Kill, The Clash, Thomas Jefferson, Jimi Hendrix, Public Enemy, fascism and the importance of record stores. It's all woven together, and the whole point is that record stores are cool because they carry records, which are cool because they allow artists to enlighten you, which is cool because that keeps fascism at bay, which is cool because who likes fascism besides fascists? "One of your last lines of defense against fascism — and just a completely awful day," says Rollins, "is the record store." Hear hear.
A hat-tip goes to occasional Scene contributor Marissa R. Moss, who hipped us to the clip via her Lockeland Springsteen bloggage.
