Up way too early on this rainy Friday morning. Saw a post about it being Richard Hell’s birthday today. So I’m spinning my copy of the expanded Blank Generation on time for once.

"To me, blank was a line where U can fill in anything ...The idea that U have the option of making Urself anything U want,filling in the blank. That's something that provides a uniquely powerful sense to this generation." #RichardHell #BlankGeneration

Also picked up this interesting monograph on antebellum (white) middle class American culture for a few bucks at a local Charlotte used bookstore #BlankGeneration recently.
yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

The front cover of Karen Halttunen’s “Confidence Men and Painted Women: A study of middle-class culture in America, 1830-1870.” The title is at the top in a mix of “Western” fonts on an orange background. Beneath is a linotype(?) of a collection of what the moralists would view as unsavory men AND women sharing pints in some bar or hall in a burgeoning 19th century American city.

"Triangles were falling at the window as the doctor cursed / he was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye/ the nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first / the doctor grabbed my throat and yelled 'god's consolation prize!'" #BlankGeneration #RichardHell

#ChurchOfRockAndRoll #108 Of all the punk progenitors, Richard Hell brought most to the revolution: rough musical ability, abrupt songs, yelping vocals, smart nihilist lyrics, ripped clothes & short spiky hair. Malcolm McLaren was paying close attention #PunkRock #RichardHell
