And tragic, of course. He's never made a bad record, in my opinion. Every one of them, to me, is a precious gem.
I haven't quite given up on another one.

Well, he was brilliant as recently as 2006 with Around, which I have been listening to for the pass 50 minutes. He seems to have no intention of ever putting out another recording though his legacy is golden. A spectral figure. Just what he wants to be.

(Spoiler) The last page of Hell's autobiography talks about a chance meeting of the two fellas - probably around 2012, while Hell was writing his book, where he spots Verlaine rummaging in the cut out bin of a bargain book store. Hell walks up to him and casually asks if he's finding any good UFO books. His description of Verlane is a bit scary - disheveled and brown toothed and a bit crazy looking. It occurred to me that Verlaine is the successor to Roky Erickson.

I was never into Hell, but I have new abiding respect for him. (Cool info about Thunders, and Quine) Not quite done with it yet but highly recommend it (as I do with Lloyds). Fills in a lot of missing pieces. I wonder if Verlaine has an autobiography in him?
