Get in the Van: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Get in the Van" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
As a member of the seminal punk band Black Flag, Henry Rollins kept detailed tour diaries that form the basis of Get in the Van . Rollinss observations range from the wry to the raucous in this blistering account of a six-year career with the band - a time marked by crazed fans, vicious cops, near-starvation, substance abuse, and mind numbing all-night drives. Rollins decided to revise this edition by adding a wealth of new photographs, a new foreword, and an afterword to include some where-are-they-now information on the people featured in the book. This new edition includes 40 previously unpublished black-and-white photographs from Rollinss private collection and show flyers by artist Raymond Pettibon. Called a soul-frying experience not to be undertaken by lightweights by Wired magazine, Get in the Van perfectly embodies what one critic called the secular gospel of one of punk and post-punks most respected and controversial figures.

PREFACE
We had been planning to revise and expand Get in the Van for some time. It was a matter of my schedule allowing me enough time off the road to pull out the boxes of stuff from those days and make a concerted effort to go through everything and see what was there. I knew there was more material that could be added to the book. I finally was able to do it.
After a few preliminary gathering and sorting sessions in 2000 and 2001, I returned to the project in earnest in October 2003 when copies of the original version of the book had almost run out.
I obtained permission from Raymond Pettibon to reproduce his amazing artwork so that this time around the Black Flag fliers could be included. This on its own is worth the price of admission, his work is so great. Pettibons artwork became synonymous with Black Flag. Before I was in the band, I used to collect xeroxed copies of the bands fliers as they somehow made it from California to Washington DC. Pettibons art used to trip me out, still does.
Photos of the band have been coming in since the books original release and many of them have been included here. With a book like this, I dont think you can have enough pictures and cool stuff, so we took advantage of another crack at it to make it better. I also corrected a few mistakes in the live dates and included some show dates that had not been documented previously.
We are glad for the chance to give this book the once over and hope you like it.
HENRY ROLLINS, 2004
DEDICATED:
...To all the bands who know: All the shit that these bastards will put you through. The record companies who bullshit you, promoters who lie to you, waste your time and rip you off. The all night drives that leave you wasted and barely able to think straight when you have a long set and another all night drive ahead of you. Working harder than anyone you know and still not being able to pay the rent. Years of watching shitty, fake bands headline over you. The endless blank hours of waiting. The depression of all the beat down towns crowding your mind month after month. Few have your courage.
All the members of Black Flag and the crews. Ian MacKaye, Jill Heath, Mugger, The Sooki Bros., Dave and Brian of Rat Sound, Davo, Joe Carducci, Raymond Pettibon, Merrill Ward, Byron Coley, Pat from Omaha, Paul Boswell, Randy Ellis, Dirk Dirkson, John Golden, The Ginn Family, Julie Lawrence, Ed Colver, Glen Friedman, Naomi Petersen, Murray Kappel, Target Video, The Minutemen, The Misfits, Saccharine Trust, The Nig Heist, The October Faction, Flipper, Spittin Teeth, The Big Boys, The Dicks, Minor Threat, The Oil Tasters The Damned, Angst, The UK Subs, DOA, 7 Seconds, The Stains, The Bad Brains, The Sluts, Mitch Bury of Adams Mass.
Greg Ginn and Chuck Dukowski: Hardest working people Ive ever met. Delivered under pressure at incredible odds. Heaviest people Ive ever been on stage with. Guts, influence and inspiration beyond words.
This book was Joe Coles idea.- Man, you gotta document this stuff. Its important.

INTRODUCTION
I was in the band Black Flag from summer 1981 to summer 1986 when the band broke up. I kept a loose journal from 1983 to the end. What youve got here are all the journal entries from 1983 to 1986 and two chapters detailing events in 1981 and 1982 when I wasnt keeping a journal. I took the tour dates from these years and if I remembered anything worth writing about, I put it in.
There are several entries in the journals that say Shed. The Shed was a small tool shed that I lived in for a couple of years. I did a lot of writing in there.
I did the best I could to include a lot of pictures. I contacted the main photographers of the band, Glen Friedman, Ed Colver and Naomi Petersen, they supplied me with some great stuff. We took some of more well known line-up shots and included alternate shots off the same roll. In addition to this I selected a lot of photos from my files that I thought told the story well. Some of these photos have no credits. These were pictures sent to me in the mail or given to me at shows and I never got the name. If you see a picture you took and dont see your name, no offense is intended.
I hope you have a good time with this book. We started work on this in 1990. I have never been so happy to see a file leave my computer.

Washington, DC / 10.31.80 (Suzie Josephson)
SPRING: I was living in an apartment in Arlington Virginia, which is right over the Washington DC line. I walked to work every day which was at an ice cream store. I was the store manager and worked there 40-60 hours a week making the deposits, hiring, firing, inventory, scooping, etc.
I was in a band at the time. Nothing much musically speaking. Four of us with fucked up equipment but we had fun playing and practicing.
A guy named Mitch Parker gave my friend Ian MacKaye and I a copy of Black Flags Nervous Breakdown EP. We played it all the time. It was heavy. The records cover art said it all. A man with his back to the wall baring his fists. In front of him another man fending him off with a chair. I felt like the guy with his fists up every day of my life.
Black Flag soon became my favorite band. Stories of their shows in Los Angeles were legend on the East Coast. They had their own record company called SST and they took no shit.
w/ lan MacKay / 1980 (Suzie Josephson)
Ian called SST and talked to their bass player Chuck Dukowski. He told Ian about the tour coming up and gave him the dates for the East Coast. They had dates booked for New York and DC. We were going to see the mighty Black Flag . A group of us went up to NYC to see the band play because we couldnt wait to see them in DC and we figured the more we saw them the better.
So we drove up to NYC and saw them at the Peppermint Lounge. I will never forget how excited I was when they hit stage. Chuck Dukowski was out there walking around in circles pounding his bass making all this fucked up noise and screaming at the crowd. They hadnt even started playing yet and it was already a trip. I think they opened with Ive Heard It Before. The place exploded. All the songs were abrupt and crushing. Short bursts of unbelievable intensity. I had never seen anyone play like that before. It was like they were trying to break themselves into pieces with the music. It was one of the most powerful things Ive ever seen. There was not a second wasted. The songs were devoid of filler. The urgency of the music and the playing was unsettling. Made me wonder what planet they came from. I wanted to move there immediately.
