Henry Rollins
, former frontman for
Black Flag
, an '80s
thrash metal
band that enjoyed cult-like success, for a liberal, politically correct kind of guy. The muscle-bound, militant-looking

, who later enjoyed a diverse career as an actor, author, and television host of
Night Visions
(
Fox Network
), has seen more success as a non-musician.
A Rollins in the Wry

has no problem pointing the finger at himself -- a sure-fire way at gaining trust and a connection with audiences. He is honest, without offending, and gives the impression that he genuinely has no biases -- he's just a curious observer of life. And the world, through
