"Broken Summers" by Henry Rollins: what ya think?

Just read this, Henry's account of last year's semi-reuinon of Black Flag members (no Greg Ginn) in support of the West Memphis Three. There's the usual amount of "woe is me/I can't stand people/I'm here to do the work & die" sorta crap that he's been spewing out for twenty years now, but it's pretty entertaining all the same. If you were ever a fan of Black Flag, it's worth reading. Makes Greg Ginn look like a prize-winning tool.

Anyone else read it?

can't find it in UK, his new spoken word cd is crap though. His diaries far outweigh his poetry, though his prose pieces work sometimes.

I read part of it in the bookstore. The part where he goes back to Lemmy's apartment and gets the "tour" is hilarious and tragic at the same time.
