Voidoids & Richard Hell:
🎵 Blank Generation
"In his book The Heebie-Jeebies at #CBGB’s: A Secret History of #Jewish #Punk, Steven Beeber chronicles the Jewish lineage that led to #NewYork #punkrock. It goes from #LennyBruce, “the patron saint of punk,” to #LouReed, to #JonathanRichman, to #Suicide, to #RichardHell to Joey and Tommy #Ramone. “As it originated in #Manhattan’s #LowerEastSide in the early 1970s,” Beeber writes, “punk rock was the apotheosis of a Jewish cultural tradition that found its ultimate expression in the generation born after the #Holocaust.”
It’s a fascinating read, and one that had a parallel in #WashingtonDC #SethHurwitz, the founder of the #930Club in #Washington, is a local legend. He grew up in #Potomac, #Maryland, the same suburb I did."

76 years of energy ⚡🥂

Das Debütalbum #BlankGeneration von #RichardHell & #TheVoidoids erschien am 26. August 1977 bei Sire Records als wegweisendes Punk-Werk. Die finalen Mischarbeiten wurden durch den New Yorker Stromausfall am 13. Juli 1977 unterbrochen. Der Titelsong "Blank Generation" war bereits 1976 als EP-Single bei Ork Records erschienen und führte zum Sire-Vertrag. Malcolm McLaren brachte Hells Ideen nach England und inspirierte damit die Sex Pistols.

Lotti Golden’s ‘Motor-Cycle’ Was a Counterculture Oddity. It’s Finally Getting Its Due
1977 erschien #BlankGeneration, das Debütalbum von #RichardHellAndTheVoidoids. Der Titelsong wurde zur Punk-Hymne. #RichardHell schrieb "Blank Generation" und #LoveComesInSpurts bereits für Bands wie Television und The Heartbreakers. Aufgenommen mit Quine, Julian & Bell, gilt es als früher Punk-Meilenstein. Immenser Einfluss trotz fehlender Chart-Erfolge. Die Zeile "I belong to the blank generation..." wurde zum Ausdruck des Zeitgeists.

Blank Generation was a new generation’s My Generation. That is all.

Brilliant. The epilogue about Tom Verlaine made me weep like a child.
