Rollins, considered a towering figure in the days of hardcore rock, when he led the band Black Flag (at a performance at Little Rock’s S.O.B. club Rollins raced into the club and on-stage, wearing only a pair of black gym shorts). He has gone on to include acting, writing, radio hosting and social activism to his career. He now performs “spoken word” shows, and, according to Rev Room co-owner Chris King, his show will be about “what he did during the lockdowns.”
