What better way to learn about all these issues than to hear it from the man himself? Henry’s 2008 fall tour launches very soon and is sure to pass by a town near you. Don’t miss out on Henry’s musings and ruminations, rants and raves, and oh yeah, did we mention the special limited edition tour poster by street artist Shepherd Fairey and the release of Fanatic, Vol 3?

And to top it all off, there’s a contest where you can win free stuff, signed by the man.

Big Rollins Fan - A Shep I might actually be able to get because it won't be very flippable.

I like this one. Mostly for the expression on his face. It makes me laugh. Some of those early Rollins spoken word discs are a hoot! I'm not a big book reader, but I have read several of Henry's books. The one that chronicles the Blag Flag tours is pretty good.
While I don't completely agree with Hank's politial leanings, he's a solid guy who sticks to his guns, a great storyteller and he's one of the best when it comes to dark humor.
I've met him two times and even sat in on a one-on-one interview a friend did with back in the early 1990s.

oh, i didn't know that. thanks. i always thought the guy on the irst picture was supposed to be flea rom red hot chili peppers. didn't notice that tattoo. :lol:

nevertheless, it is the first fairy print after he stopped designing and just developed the fairy photoshop plugin that turns every picture into a fairy print, colour separation included.

why?

i think because henry is loyal to those people that go (or at some
point went)against the grain or government or try to make a difference.

seriously if you've never seen that segment where shep was on
his show it was like a 5-minute ass-kissing-- and almost makes
shep seem genuine in his beliefs and not a sell-out, but we all
know better right?
