VENERATION...Happy B-Day to singer, author, actor, and early Punk Rock pin-up
boy RICHARD HELL (10/2/49). Most famous for his records with the Voidoids, my
favorite release from Hell is the early version of "Love Comes In
Spurts" he recorded with the Neon Boys ( soon to become TELEVISION). All
you need musically from Hell is the "Spurts, the Richard Hell Story"
CD, assembled by Mr. Hell himself.
VOGUE
REMEMBERANCE...Back in the late '70's or early '80's Hell and the Voidoids were
scheduled to play something called the "Punk Rock Fashion Show" at
the Palladium with Blondie and some other bands. Blondie, having had a few hits
in Europe, decided that they had to have their own dressing room while all the
other bands plus the Punk models had to share one room. Because of this Hell
backed out of the gig and ended up not playing LA. Which pissed the local NewWave women off to no end because they had been waiting forever is see Hell in
the flesh. They blamed Blondie for this and never forgave Debbie. ANYWAY,
that's what my girlfriend at the time told me....Hell hath no fury...
