Today, 36 years after putting out *Blank Generation*, New York’s seminal punk rock record, Richard Hell releases an incredibly honest book reflecting on his youth and his time with bands The Heartbreakers and Richard Hell and the Voidoids. *I Dreamed I Was A Very Clean Tramp* is a glimpse into one of New York’s most mythic eras—the late ’70s and early ’80s—and Hell’s role at the front and center of it. In his seasoned writing style, Hell describes the intricacies of coming of age in dirty tenement apartments, moving from job to job, and being in one of the best punk acts on the scene. We sat down in a fifth-floor apartment in the East Village, where Hell wrote his book, to go over some of the trials of putting together one’s own memories.
