"A short audio clip of punk-rock icon Henry Rollins giving a verbal lashing to a writer from Maxim magazine � which is frequently accused of objectification of women � has been posted online at Blender.com.

Rollins recently made headlines after he was placed under investigation by the Australian government when he was spotted reading Ahmed Rashid's bestselling book "Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia" on a flight to Brisbane, Australia. According to Starpulse.com, the former BLACK FLAG frontman, 45, was horrified when he received an e-mail from an Australian government associate after an ignorant passenger reported the singer/actor's reading material.

Rollins told PageSix.com, "Days later I received an e-mail from a woman who I guess figured out who I was and found me. I had been named a 'person of interest.' Basically, they get calls like this every five minutes, and I'm probably on the 'who cares' list, in that they'll probably let me into the country again. But the fact that this guy could be that ignorant and call me in on this for a book. I was angry. Because of the fact that the guy wouldn't confront me. I like confrontation. If I've offended you, let me know. Don't call it in and not leave your name. I just think it's pretty weak."

Rollins was especially baffled by his status amongst Australian immigration officials because of his past track record working with U.S. soldiers. He explained, "I do a lot of work for the USO because soldiers are my heroes. I've done six USO tours outside of America and a few hospital visits, and the soldiers are the best. I've been to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Dubai, South Korea, Honduras, Japan, Egypt and Turkey." "
