Richard Hell will be remembered in a hundred years as a true artist & not some shallow pop star like the ones who are forced on us nowadays by the media & the music industry.. Thanks, thanks & thanks again. I belong to the Blank Generation & proud of it!
Thank you Richard, thank you.

Awesome ending.
Amusing, at 53 I'm with Richard
Does this guy EVER AGE!!!!!!!
Great philosophy from Richard Hell.
just like in Go Now! you have an incredibly apt way of distilling recieved wisdom and philosophy into an emotionally effecting mixture.
@Rooster21K Great comment. Richard Hell was great as a Punk Rocker, and now he's great as a writer... : )
He's thoughtful. He's not exactly punk, but he's smart as hell.
He's adorable.
Thanks. At 52 I needed to see this.
@Real Life 64. Oh no! How'd THAT happen!
@Real Life I suppose it's more important to consider the remaining time.
I love it, though i know present is not able yet to hold of it.
It is interesting, I think Richard said "what are you going to look like when your dead? I have a 12 year son who is asking me about death and I told him that death is a word. For example, what were you 13 years ago? Ï ask. Don't be silly Dad, I wasn't born 13 years ago. But, how is not being 13 years ago going to be different from "not being" in 60/70 years time when you die? (assuming no soul) People look at old people and think "soon they'll be gone, but kids are closer to "no being"then us!
I agree with all of that, too. I am a massive fan. See the Richard Hell forum for evidence. I love Richard's complex, love-hate kind of narcissism. I love reading his books. Blah blah, anyway: you are correct. Well - actually I'd argue that truly popular culture was potentially awful, just like today, and that those guys weren't part of it (not initially, anyway) - there was a good underground, is what there was.
life was not full of endless possibilities in high school. when i was 4, i had the sense of being everyone and no one, and i couldn't wait to be 16. I quickly figured out that I should instead anticipate being 30. adolescence was just simply full of unadulterated authoritarian bullshit and frustrated yearning. i guess there was other stuff, but endless possibilities? no fucking way. you had the luck of being a hot young narcissist, bless you.
He's talking about how when he's 21 and he realizes time and age.... I'm 19 and I've felt like that ever since I was 8. I always thought growing up and growing older are the worst things to experience. I also wanted to stay 13 so badly. 18 was even worse - I nearly killed myself because it was nearly unbearable, but didn't because I didn't want my death to be as pointless as my life. I see life as having endless possibilities, but only if you are happy [clearly I am not] or dreaming.
Has your view on this subject changed after so many years?
Obviously not, you rock n roll nigger
And I swear, that will be the last time I take acid!
...I get that. You're probably right - still, he was a hot young narcissist.
if you were in touch with your body more you would know that it cant do many of the things it used to be able to do and I'm not just talking about sex? I'm glad you embrace the concept of constant change tho in practice you seem to be constantly the same in such a dismal way?
