Henry Rollins' quarantine radio show - about the early days of Black Flag and seeing Led Zep with Ian MacKaye

Henry Rollins has begun a new online radio series called 'The Cool Quarantine' with the idea - "We play you songs, I tell you stories, and we do time together", the LA Times reports. The first episode is out now on KCRW - here - and it’s just over four hours long. It includes “live bootlegs of the Cramps recorded by Ian MacKaye, a story about the time Henry and Ian saw Led Zeppelin in 1977 (plus a bootleg recording from that performance), audio from original Joy Division album pressings, stories about the early days of Black Flag and Dischord Records”.
