Black Coffee Blues
Black Coffee Blues | Henry Rollins
9 posts | 6 read | 7 to read
'If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light, If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.' Henry Rollins, renowned spoken-word performer, musician, actor and author of several books, has a unique, hard-edged view of the world. 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 the challenging poetry to revealing dream sequences, Rollins' writing is unflinching in its honesty, uncompromising in its truth and irresistibly addictive.

°I'd really like to throw out a Beastie Boys reference here but let's be honest, I just like my coffee black. No flavor, no sugar, no cream.
°Medium blend to dark roast is great.
°I love dipping things that are bad for me in my black coffee (cookies, biscotti, etc).
°I don't drink tea!

TheKidUpstairs Yes! High five for the Beastie Boys (non) reference! Classic 7y

Henry Rollins is one of my alltime favourites.
This book shows everyone that life sucks sometimes, but you can kick ass if you believe in yourself.

Tonight I had the opportunity to see Henry Rollins for the second time. Not only is he a total legend, he's an infinitely fascinating and knowledgeable individual. If every person had even a fraction of his intellectual curiosity, the world would be a better place. ❤️

Soubhiville I love that man! 8y

Just got tickets to Henry Rollins' current spoken word tour. I'm SO EXCITED. Hey, maybe he'll remember me from four years ago when I met him after the show and couldn't form sentences ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

daena Awesome! It's understandable, not being able to form sentences around him. 8y
