                                Henry Rollins "The First Five" book review

The first five is a collection of poems and essays by Black Flag front man, Henry Rollins. They are written more like a diary combining various experiences that happened over the course of time. The cynicism and anger is definitely felt after every turn of the page. Some of the feelings I can relate to,such as not being understood, or feeling alone and angry at the world. Other times, I almost wish I could of pulled young Henry aside and told him everything is going to be ok. It's astonishing that someone who has inspired others, whether in music, or through some of his quotes and writing, could be so hard on himself and think that he was just a grain of sand on the beach that will never be noticed. I'm sure age has changed Rollins in a way that he has gone above and beyond success, for someone who started as a young punk rock musician.I will say age hasn't slowed him down, even when I saw him live a few years ago. You could still see the intensity in his eyes. The car is going 100 miles per hr and its not stopping for anything or anyone. If you want to get a glimpse of the life of Rollins, I definitely recommend checking this book out.
