Henry Rollins Finalizes Tour Plans for IFC Sponsored '25 Years of Bullshit'

Henry Rollins Finalizes Tour Plans for IFC Sponsored '25 Years of Bullshit'

'Henry's Film Corner' Going Strong on IFC; Sixth USO Tour Takes Henry to Egypt

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Dates have been announced for "25 Years of Bullshit," HENRY ROLLINS's IFC-sponsored two month, 43 show tour kicking off at the end of September. HENRY is keeping his bags packed, but unpacking some baggage, mixing timely commentary on politics, pop culture, and his most recent exploits with some of his favorite stories from 25 years on the road. HENRY's latest show promises both to incite and offer insight; to enrage and enlighten; to draw both laughs and ire. HENRY continues to strip current events down to their seemingly obvious core, while coming armed and ready with both thoughtfully researched facts and a wealth of personal experience.

"Since the last tour I have done a lot of extensive travel to Iraq, Kuwait, Siberia, South Korea and other places and picked up some hopefully interesting stories," notes HENRY. "We are living in interesting times and as bad as things are, I draw considerable inspiration from some of the things I'm seeing and people I'm meeting. I'm looking forward to getting out on the road and talking about it all."

HENRY also serves up a fat slice of subversive and topical discussions triggered by films past and present in his IFC TV series HENRY'S FILM CORNER. The show, which premiered in December, airs several times throughout the month. The current season -- which has featured such guests as Michael Madsen, Rob Zombie, and Billy Bob Thornton -- concludes when HENRY is joined by Philip Seymour Hoffman for an episode premiering the first week of September. The multi-dimensional show combines HENRY's passion for film and his intellectual yet entertaining reviews with uncensored, no-holds-barred debate about films, celebrities, and social and political issues in America.

Barely two months after returning from an 11-day USO tour of the South Pacific, HENRY heads to Egypt on August 25 to entertain American troops yet again. The trek marks HENRY's sixth USO excursion in less than two years. His previous USO tours have also included Afghanistan, Qatar, and Kyrgystan in late 2003; Iraq and Kuwait in May, 2004; Honduras in August, 2004; and Afghanistan in December, 2004.

HENRY the actor appears later this year in The Alibi with Steve Coogan and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, and has a lead role in the Weinsteins' Project Greenlight feature Feast, due out in January, 2006.

Meanwhile, the DVD from HENRY's most recent tour -- entitled Shock and Awe -- was recently released on HENRY's own 2.13.61, while his latest written work, Roomanitarian, will be published by 2.13.61 in November.

HENRY plays a handful of college dates in September prior to embarking upon "25 Years of Bullshit."
