Good old Hammerin' Hank Rollins always has a lot to say about politics and the state of world affairs. And he has plenty of venues through which to get his message heard, including his TV show on IFC and his radio show on Los Angeles' Indie 103.1. And starting early next year, Rollins will bring his views to the world on a sprawling spoken word tour. He'll start things off in continental Europe, head to the U.K., then be back in North America in February.
