HENRY ROLLINS KICKS OFF NEW SEASON ON IFC

(VIDEO) Henry Rollins talks about his new season on the Independent Film Channel, and one prime interview with Ozzy Osbourne this weekend.

Henry Rollins, maybe the smartest “regular guy” punk rocker, is in his second season hosting the Henry Rollins show. While some have taken potshots at Rollins spewing his political views, the star power of the show cannot be denied.

Rollins will feature legendary rocker and recent Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Ozzy Osbourne, but it’s not the first time he’s spoken to the legend. He did say, however, that this is the best interview he’s ever done with the Prince Of Darkness.

“I’ve hung out with…I’ve interviewed Ozzy six times. I’ve done video press kits for him. I’ve traveled with the family. I’ve toured with Ozzy. I’ve worked with Black Sabbath, and so have known Ozzy for well over a decade. So Ozzy’s a wonderful guest. I think the best interview I’ve ever did with him is he was this last one. He was funny he was really sharp. So it was a good time. It’s always a good time with Ozzy. He’s a warm guy.”

So what’s the biggest misconception the public has about Osbourne?

“That he’s dumb. He’s not a rocket scientist, but neither am I, but he’s not stupid. And that may be the misconception that he’s stupid or that he’s high all the time. No. He’s probably on some medication, and I’m sure he wouldn’t hesitate to tell you which ones. He’s a very open guy. Now you know why 18,000 kids go crazy when he hits the stage, because he means it.”

The Henry Rollins Show can only be seen on IFC, and it airs Saturday’s at 10pm with an encore performance at 11pm on Thursdays.
