But I made up for it quickly. Ah...Richard Hell and the Voidoids. I wasn't a fan until they were long gone, but I saw him hanging out at Handsome Dick Manitoba's bar in the East Village a couple of years ago. I looked around and realized I was probably one of the few people in the joint old enough to recognize him.

Sigh. But I will always look back on my complete ruination of my physical health and mental well-being that era represented with a special fondness.RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416316296228157208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-90300074420976344032010-01-06T11:23:33.077-05:002010-01-06T11:23:33.077-05:00ps...
