		Spoken word shares with the Beats a mutual disdain with the academic community, an emphasis on performance, and many poems in confessional and stream-of-consciousness styles.

	ROCKZONE.COM: Live: Henry Rollins - Spoken Word
		Depending on which category one falls into, the idea of a “spoken word” tour by the famously intense (and shirtless) hardcore-come-jamrock icon seems either intriguing or befuddling, but Rollins has had plenty of time to perfect his performance, having taken the stage in such a manner for nearly 20 years now.
		In person, Henry Rollins is everything his critics believe he is not: funny, self-deprecating, and articulate (and on this night, fully clothed).
		There are only two types of people who know who Henry Rollins is: those who find him sage and those who find him ridiculous.
