Listening to Saucer Crash right now. Thinking about Verlaine's obsession with UFOs. (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 finished Lloyd's autobiography late last year and found Hell's autobio a couple weeks ago (along with Graham Nash's - which is also a page turner). 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?
