Do you get IFC (the Independent Film Channel)? Have you seen the new Henry Rollins show? Great stuff. It’s actually a pretty similar format to the Deadpan podcast, except much more socially responsible:
Henry interviews cool people; Chuck D, Ozzy, Bill Maher, etc. — and he asks fantastic questions. Not scripted Tonight Show BS anecdotes, but the questions I’d want to ask.
Like Deadpan, he also drops in little satirical skits and rants – and then – finishes up with music. Of course, he has musical guests — – I don’t think he’s going to do any Rollins Band or Black Flag performances.
And because it’s on IFC, no commercial breaks and no ban on F-bombs.
Henry’s a wiseass, but he’s also a very smart, insightful guy. I’ve set my DVR.
How absolutely excellent.
How can I get this in Australia … er, legally?
More information than you needed to know: I’d switch for Henry Rollins 😉
Well, actually, Rollins Band will be on the show in June (its being taped this week). He’s reunited with Chris, Sim, and Melvin, and they’ll be going o tour in August.
Ive yet to catch this, and Ive tried. But as a fan of Flagg and his spoken word/stand up shite, I cannot wait to see it.
Dude’s smart.
Thanks Debi, for the update – Alvie for legitimizing the post, and Froosh, for your candor.
I’d love to interview Henry Rollins for the Deadpan. Can someone get on that?
Oh, DVR!?!? Thats a damn fine idea Jack. Ill get right on that.
Tee hee. “Legitimizing the post”. I love my Jack Mangan.
Um, in a strictly man-friend kind of way. Not that thered be anything wrong with that if it wasnt…

Yo Jack,
Just got back from a quick trip to Piscataway http://www.piscatawaynj.org/ for the Piscataway impaired. Well anyway. My dawg Lefty (we call him that cause he’s right-handed) told me your street name back home was “Shuggy?” What’s up with that?
I saw him live not too long ago, maybe a year? Great, great guy. Hell of a lot to say, adn just a decent individual.
And damn funny
