Henry Rollins
KCRW Broadcast 54
It's a great one tonight! One of the super bestest tracks ever starts us out tonight. One clean chord Ian MacKaye slams down on at the top of Me And You, don't you think? What we've got here is one great mix. No concept set like last week. Speaking of that set, thanks for all the letters about last week's show. Glad you liked it. I had been wanting to do that one for a long time.

Tonight's show is one of the best mixes in a long time. I am going to listen to it tonight before I go on. I am sitting in the tour bus at the moment, down the street from tonight's venue here in Philadelphia. I just finished two shows in Virginia, they were great and as well, had a day off in Washington DC. I got a chance to hang out with Ian MacKaye, really great to see him and have some time to drive around and see the old neighborhood.
Tonight is the start of a very busy three days. Tonight in Philadelphia and then two nights in NYC. I am glad the night off is over and I am back to show after show. As much as I probably need a night off now and then, they throw me off a little. I have two shows under my belt and I am looking forward to getting onstage tonight.
It's been awhile since we played something from TV Smith's last studio album, In The Arms Of My Enemy, so we're doing it tonight and I can't remember the last time we listened to Blues Boy Rawlins so tonight he gets an airing. Tonight's mix is a great one and I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for listening and STAY FANATIC!!!
