Cash and Clash: Henry Rollins' Epic Backstage Encounter- Public Radio's The Dinner Party

During a fall 2011 taping, Henry Rollins told this unbelievable story about a backstage encounter between himself, Joe Strummer of the Clash, and Johnny Cash. As if that weren’t enough, Tom Petty, mega-producer Rick Rubin, and June Carter figured in, too. The tale was, alas, too epic for the radio show’s time constraints…but it BEGS to be heard, so we’re posting it here as a web special. Enjoy! (Cue Henry, answering the question: “What’s the most memorable get-together you’ve been to?”)
