Hey, Jason Gots here. Let's cast our minds back together to June 2015. A time before Donald Trump

as president seemed even a remote possibility. We had just launched Think Again in our second

episode and not much more than my second interview ever. I was talking with the musician and spoken

word artist Henry Rollins, who I had admired since high school.

This was over the phone, New York to L.A. on a Friday or Saturday night, and it was epic.

Henry is a man of many thoughts and words, and noob interviewer that I was, I could barely get a word in edgewise, which was just fine because he had plenty

to say. So lengthy was this episode, in fact, that we originally split into two, releasing

them at different times. Today, for your listening pleasure, with our old theme song intact,

along with our old way of having the producers come in and introduce the surprise clips

that they picked for us to discuss,

I give you Henry Rollins Redux, two classic episodes of Think Again, reunited at last.

Hey there, I'm Jason Gots, and you're listening to Think Again, a Big Think podcast.

Big Think is an online forum for the world's most interesting thinkers and doers to share

mind-blowing ideas on video.

Since 2008, we've shared over 10,000 of them.

On the Think Again podcast, we surprise our guests and me, your host, with unexpected

clips from these vast and mysterious archives, and then we talk

about them. I'm here today with Henry Rollins, a guy who it looks to me like is pretty much doing

exactly what he wants to do with his life. He's been lead singer of the band's Black Flag and

Henry Rollins Band, toward the world as a spoken word artist, acted in Sons of Anarchy,

published a few books of words and photography.

A lot of people probably want to be you, Henry.
