Re: (TV) richard hell in NYT



"...Carroll was a continuous generator of entertaining anecdotes featuring
himself. It beat working. The stories paid for his drugs, and the drugs
helped underwrite the poetry...He lived among the poets of history, of life,
not the accountants or the police officers. He was a con man, but all
artists know that, significantly, they are bedazzlers, masters of illusion.
Beautiful poetry isnt life, but its pretty to think so..."

That's some impressive prose.

Richard Hell really is quite a good writer.
