Amazon.comFew know the road as well as Henry Rollins. In his mid-'80s salad days, he logged mile after weary mile with bone-crushing punk pioneers Black Flag, and he tells their story here. The revealing journal entries of Van step off the page and come to life in Rollins's charismatic yet always confrontational voice. You'll feel like you're in the van beside him, and you'll wish, like Rollins does, that Minutemen honcho Mike Watt would just shut up, that BF guitarist Greg Ginn would just go away, and that the endless tour would finally be over. Anyone who's spent any time in a band will know some of this story; few could tell it as well as Rollins. Get in the Van is an essential punk-rock memoir. --Michael Ruby
