Dude you are so smart. Too bad we have to tap that potential when we have the energy or it slips away! I don't know I loved you when I was 15 and now I am 59 and I am so much relieved of all of the angst that all that potential I was supposed to live up to caused me. I can finally radically accept my humanity. Maybe it was getting Covid-19 after all of the vaccines and boosters I still got the omicron variant and it kicked my ass! You are like some kind of art punk philosopher. I was in a band with a couple guys who were in college when I was 15 and sort of lost. All they could talk about was Television being such a cool band! I didn't even know you were part of that band too! WOW!!! Artists are a crazy lot!! They get around... Thanks for sharing your cool quirkiness!

Saw him in concert with Lloyd Cole. It was one of the last shows he did. Awesome show. Check out the Matthew Sweet album,""Girlfriend".

superb

one of the greatest songs ever

Great philosophy from Richard Hell.

love this!-- happy birthday 2.10.2020 Richard. Looking forward to the next installment. - luv suzie

A few of the injustices of this fucked-up grotesque world are: 1) that the Voidoids aren’t well-known outside the usual circle of true music fans and cognoscenti 2) that they crumbled after making two great great great albums 3) that they took 5 years to finally record the 2nd album (Destiny street), albeit with a slightly changed line-up, with Fred Maher on drums instead of Marc Bell aka the future Marky Ramone, due to various problems (financial and chemical) 4) that Robert Quine, an authentic genius and an all-out innovator of the electric guitar, is not known at all, even amongst guitar aficionados. His musical vocabulary contained phrases that would be stock-in-trade 10-15 years later with the guitarists in bands like Sonic Youth, Pixies and Blur. But nary a mention of the geezer who started that way of playing at all....it fucking sucks, and big time too!

Unbelievable that Richard managed to put this brilliant band together, a songwriter who could barely play base, a black kid with dreadlocks, a balding 30-something lawyer and a hippie. He certainly knew how to spot talent.

Love his 👓!

I never knew Nick Lowe produced this. No wonder it sounds so good.

Does this guy EVER AGE!!!!!!!

Had the privilege to see the Voidoids and RH perform this at CBGB's. Nothing like this anymore.

Co-guitarist Ivan Julian never gets the love the estimable Mr. Quine gets.

Fun fact: Word has it that this song was at least partly inspired by Chris Parker, the juvenile lead in Jim Jarmusch's Permanent Vacation (shot in 1980, released in 1982), who used to hang out at the CBGB's in the late 70s. Chris Parker's nickname at the time was - you guessed it - The Kid With The Replaceable Head, even though I don't know if the name had been around before or if it actually descended from the song. The song's lyric alludes to one of Parker's character traits: "He's so honest that the dishonest dread, meeting the kid with the replaceable head."

Anyone have chords or tabs for this?

This is fucking awesome!!!

the now leaving lexington part was a nice touch

Can you post B side "I'm Your Man" Nick Lowe version

Love it...

One track mind by the heartbreakers in which richard was part of th e band

Pop music as it should be not as we have had to endure it for the past 40 years !!

Nice apartment though

this version doesent compare to the OG

Did "Pancake" do "Love Comes" too?

This is absolutely terrible but I like it.

why is richard hell asian in this cartoon

Awesome ending.

Great 7" !

Funny!... Hey!...I can see Robert Quine!...he was a original & innovative guitar player!...rest in peace!...seek his records or his collaborations!... Richard Hell?...where are you buddy?... Congratulations to those who made the cartoon!...

BUT, the very first shot shows a four string bass.

luv !!! to erin is human..but TO HELL IS DIVINE! written to me from R.H.

I've found that the older I have become the cooler I have become ( :

Great song! One of Richard Hell's best! Great video as well!

His bass playing always impressed me.

the art style is adorable

@Rooster21K Great comment. Richard Hell was great as a Punk Rocker, and now he's great as a writer... : )

@NucularTheArtist wrong! all the guitars have six tuning pegs so no one is playing bass. actually the third player has about 8 pegs in one shot. some frames show roberts axe with 4 strings but it seems that the artist is just implying that it has strings. anyway RIP Robert Quine a brilliant player and cool cool guy.

@TBOMBURBOOTY That's a very incredible statement you're making. I wonder if you've taken the time to learn that Richard Hell has published several books and put out an album since his 'addiction to HEROIN'. Hell really came out a lot better than a lot of people from his scene, even those that are still alive today. You don't sound very intelligent or well spoken so I'm not surprised by the fact that you speak without thinking or knowing anything.

He's beautiful.

‎"You are always young compared to how you will look when you're dead." - Richard Hell

I can absolutely understand fainting over necks.

His mouth. Oh, the things I could do with that mouth.

He's thoughtful. He's not exactly punk, but he's smart as hell.

One of my favorite punk rock tunes, and interesting video! lol

@ZLUGGO and he basically looks the same as he did 20 years ago

@Iightmachine I guess you' re Mr Universe then, eh?

Cool, and thanks for using the best version RH did of this tune! great job.

nice.

Thanks. At 52 I needed to see this.

Hell is still a sexy bitch.
