Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Eric The Pilot by Henry Rollins Info and Intro. Henry Rollins is an American Grammy Award-winning alternative Rock singer and songwriter, spoken word performer, prose and poetry author, radio and TV personality, movie actor, comedian, and voice-over actor. Things kicked off for him through his work with the Hardcore Punk band Black Flag who were around from 1981 to 1986, as well as fronting the "Rollins Band" since 1987. The Journalist "Steve Huey" decribes Rollins as “a Post Punk renaissance man … Rollins is relentlessly busy … and has kept his artistic integrity, becoming a kind of father figure for many alternative bands of the ’90s.” Rollins grew up in Washington, D.C., His parents had divorced while he was young, and Rollins was bought up primarily by his mother, she'd taught him to read before he entered school, and he credits her with giving him his lifelong love of reading. As a child he was prescribed Ritalin and got sent to the The Bullis School, this was a Washington, D.C. military school. He disliked the authoritarian atmosphere and (at that time) boys-only campus, which got in the way of his early attempts at dating and made him uncomfortable around women for several years. More positively, he said Bullis helped instill in him a sense of discipline and a strong work ethic. It was at military school that he began to develop his muscular build, and began writing. Rollins described his early literary efforts as follows;- “I would write short stories, and they’re probably horribly written, about blowing up my school and murdering all the teachers.
