Last night I saw "The Devil, Probably" at a movie theater, introduced by Richard Hell. Richard was looking like an aging hipster, with Bono-type glasses and a shirt opened a button too low. He was still funny and described himself as a Bressonian punk, whereas Johnny Rotten was a Jerry Lewis punk and the Ramones were Disney punk. Zing, Richard 1 - Ramones 0. Although Richard does not talk about the 70s anymore, because, he says, he doesn't have anything left to say about them, he mentioned working at a film bookstore with Tom Verlaine, Bob Quine, and some others. I remember thinking about what I wouldn't give to have been there. And how much music we wouldn't have had today if that bookstore had caught fire with them inside.

I think that the next week's posts will be rather minimal because I don't feel like writing much, or even spending any more time at home than I have to. Unless, of course, I decide to post about all the theory I've been reading. I think I am going to be looking at this book now "The Accursed Share: Part 1", and then its follow up "The Accursed Share: Part 2 and 3". Or maybe this book "Contingency, Hegemony, Universality". So many options...
