[Literature & Art] Ginsberg, Allen. (1926-1997). Punk Rock Your My Big Crybaby - ANNOTATED AND SIGNED TYPESCRIPT & BROADSIDE TO RICHARD HELL. TMS, one page, 7.75 x 10.75, May 1977, signed and inscribed at the conclusion in black ink, “Allen Ginsberg, for Richard Hell, N.Y.C. E. 12 St.” Draft of the poem ‘Punk Rock Your My Big Crybaby,’ hand-edited by Ginsberg to change one word plus some punctuation and grammar. Together with a purple printed broadside of the poem by The Alternative Press, Grindstone City, one page, 8 x 11, signed at the conclusion in black ink, “Allen Ginsberg, 1983.” Typed manuscript in very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered creases, and overall soiling; broadside in very fine condition. A remarkable association.
Richard Hell (born Richard Lester Meyers, b. 1949) is an American singer, songwriter, bass guitarist, and writer. An innovator of punk music and fashion, he was one of the first to spike his hair and wear torn, cut and drawn-on shirts, often held together with safety pins. Indeed, Malcolm McLaren, manager of the Sex Pistols, has credited Hell as a source of inspiration for the Sex Pistols' look and attitude, as well as the safety-pin and graphics accessorized clothing that McLaren sold in his London shop, Sex. Hell was in several important, early punk bands, including Neon Boys, Television, and The Heartbreakers, after which he formed Richard Hell & The Voidoids. Their 1977 album Blank Generation influenced many other punk bands and its title song was named "One of the 500 Songs That Shaped Rock" by music writers in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and is ranked as one of the all-time Top 10 punk songs by a 2006 poll of original British punk figures, as reported in the Rough Guide to Punk.
William Burroughs served as a mentor to many of the young punk musicians in New York, and the intersections between poetry and punk were not just artistic, but personal. Poets like Ginsberg and the musicians were moving in similar circles in lower Manhattan, and the resonances are still felt today, as the recently-defunct Bowery Poetry Club described its location as being in the shadow of the former location of CBGB's, mentioned in the present poem.
