I think you look sexy as fuck, Richard

This guy had a kid who went to the same summer art-camp as my kid (we're both mid-fifties) a couple years ago. I would see him drop the kid off with the camp trunk etc, and do a double-take "Hey, that Dad is Richard Hell!" My kid thought I was nuts.

bummer

@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.

his STYLE everyone thinks so highly of was coused not by any type of REAL creativity, but by POVERTY and his addiction to HEROIN. listen to the person, he is like permanently on a LSD trip. dont get me wrong, i love the dude, and his writeing is excellent. but i have begun to see my own mental defects , analyze how they were formed , so on and so forth. all i truely know is the human condition , all of us , is FUCKED.

i can't believe he's still alive.

great footage!

The man you are dribbling about is Richard Fucking Hell! Check out some history books and stop dribbling about.

[DaveCromwell]

This is interesting. I just saw him read last week (after experiencing first hand what he did in the late 70's at CBGB's).

You're still sexy, Hell. Lose the old man suit and cut your hair a little.

Sorry MM, I don't know the specs on his kid, but my own kid referenced above is now 21, so RH's could be roughly the same. Full disclosure RH was always there with a woman, so it could very well have been her child. Christopher Guest and Jamie Lee Curtis' daughter Annie, and Kevin Bacon's kid Travis were also at that camp at the time (there's your Six Degrees of Separation from Kevin Bacon of the day)...It's Bucks Rock Arts Camp in CT, a very cool arts and music place for kids and teens.
