I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp - An Autobiography (Paperback): Richard Hell I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp - An Autobiography (Paperback)

From an early age, Richard Hell dreamed of running away. He arrived penniless in New York City at seventeen; ten years later he was a pivotal voice of the age of punk, cofounding such seminal bands as Television, The Heartbreakers, and Richard Hell and the Voidoids--whose song "Blank Generation" remains the defining anthem of the era, an era that would forever alter popular culture in all its forms. How this legendary downtown artist went from a bucolic childhood in the idyllic Kentucky foothills to igniting a movement that would take over New York and London's restless youth culture--cementing CBGB as the ground zero of punk and spawning the careers of not only Hell himself, but a cohort of friends such as Tom Verlaine, Patti Smith, the Ramones, and Debby Harry--is a mesmerizing chronicle of self-invention, and of Hell's yearning for redemption through poetry, music, and art. An acutely rendered, unforgettable coming-of-age story, I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp evokes with feeling, lyricism, and piercing intelligence both the world that shaped him and the world he shaped.

“Peter Schuyff is a fascinating little bastard and he presents a good opportunity for thinking about painting.

Painting is personal. There are no ultimate truths about it. Much of the most perceptive writing about painting, especially new painting, in the last 200 years has been produced by poets―Baudelaire, Rilke, Apollinaire, Ashbery, Ricard―rather than trained “experts” because what there is that’s interesting to say about it is best accessible via the language skills and sophistication and sensitivity to subtleties of perception and consciousness cultivated by poets. I am not a poet, but I almost am, and I claim legitimacy as an art writer by the same token: nobody knows what is interesting in art except the person who can persuade you they do.” ― Richard Hell
