Nights Behind The Tree Line

A few months ago, I was in London, England and was asked to read on a BBC Radio show. I read this thing I wrote called 'No Shore II' and talked about how the piece was a homage to the great American writer Thomas Wolfe who often spoke of there being 'no door.' Afterwards, I got to thinking about reading a few things in the studio for release to change things up from the usual live spoken recordings I put out. So, here’s some stuff I wrote, read aloud to brave and patient engineer Brian on the afternoons of September 16 & 23, 2003. I hope you enjoy it. One dollar from each album sold will be given to the Hollygrove Children’s Services here in the doomed city of Los Angeles so these kids can grow big and strong and get the hell out of this town! Thank you. --Henry Rollins
