About Capitalism
Henry Rollins traverses 50 states with a politically-themed talk show, culminating with an election-eve performance in Washington D.C. on November 5th. This two-month tour will stop in each state capital -- starting September 6 at Hawaiian Brian's in Honolulu, HI, venturing through places like the Diamond Ball Room in Oklahoma City, T.F. Riggs High School in Pierre, South Dakota and ending up in Washington, D.C., Henry's hometown. Henry's latest tour offers not so much a voting guide, but an unveiling of Henry's very own political viewpoint -- an unflinching quest for truth.
About Henry Rollins
For better than a quarter century, Henry Rollins has toured the world as a spoken word artist, as frontman for both Rollins Band and Black Flag and -- without a microphone -- as a solitary traveler with insatiable curiosity. When he's not living out of a suitcase, Rollins is constantly at work as an actor, radio DJ, author of more than 20 books, and running his publishing company and record label 2.13.61. Henry currently hosts a weekly radio show on L.A.'s renowned NPR affiliate KCRW, and is a regular contributor to VanityFair.com with his "Straight Talk Espresso" blog.

Rollins would make the ultimate high school history teacher and gym coach.

Damn , I was Literally about to write a comment that said .. “If Henry was one of my HS teachers, me and all my friends woulda never missed a day, let alone dropout” 9 years later , too.

Even having grown up in Springfield, I never had the privilege of seeing some of the artifacts you got to see and handle - incredible! Living in Chicago for 20+ years now, I have come to realize that I took Springfield for granted. I go back often to visit family, however, and I take my kids to see some of the sites. I have a newfound appreciation.
