On this episode, Marc talks with Henry Rollins, author of “Stay Fanatic! Volume 4,” the latest entry in his series of books chronicling, as he puts it, “Lessons in Possession and Confessions of Obsession.” Written in diary form, “Stay Fanatic!” dives into Rollins’ adventures in listening to music, finding out about music, and hunting for records on Ebay and Discogs. It’s also a kind of travelogue, as many entries were written while Rollins was on tour, as well as a kind of evolving philosophical document of how and why he got so obsessed with music.

As Rollins once explained, “I wanted the writing to be exactly how I think about records; endless amounts of detail, making mountains out of molehills, everything pretty much slammed into the red with enthusiasm…If music is one of those things that is and has always been one of the best friends you’ve ever had, you might like this book."

We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Henry Rollins!
