| Plot Summary of The First Five |
|---|
"Henry Rollins writes about his first five years on the road with his band. In these first five years Rollins becomes a rock star and explores every vice possible in growing up. Rollins is a sexy, exciting character who describes himself very cynically and laughs at himself most of the time. This is an incredible coming of age story full of humor and extremely entertaining in exposing the life of an emerging rock star. "
