Richard Hell was lead singer for seminal punk band Richard Hell and the Voidoids, a founding member of Television with his friend Tom Verlaine, and is widely credited for the punk rock aesthetic of cut t-shirts, safety pins, and spiked hair co-opted by the Sex Pistols. In addition to being a music legend, Hell has written novels and poetry, film criticism, and has appeared in several movies. His new memoir,
I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp, tells of his growning up in a small town in Kentucky, segues into his days as a New York rock 'n roll icon and his eventual descent into heroin addiction.
