Blank Generation (song)
"Blank Generation" is the title track of Richard Hell and the Voidoids' 1977 debut album ''Blank Generation''. A rewrite of Rod McKuen's 1959 record "The Beat Generation," Richard Hell wrote the new lyrics during his time with the band Television, and performed it live with another band, The Heartbreakers.〔(Allmusic song review )〕 The Sex Pistols' song "Pretty Vacant" was directly inspired by "Blank Generation".〔"I came back to England determined. I had these images I came back with, it was like Marco Polo or Walter Raleigh. I brought back the image of this distressed, strange thing called Richard Hell. And this phrase, 'the blank generation'. () Richard Hell was a definite, 100 percent inspiration, and, in fact, I remember telling the Sex Pistols, 'Write a song like Blank Generation, but write your own bloody version,' and their own version was 'Pretty Vacant'." --Malcolm McLaren in an interview in ''Please Kill Me, the Uncensored Oral History of Punk'', Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain, Grove Press (1996), p. 199.〕
"Blank Generation" was previously released on the ''Another World'' EP in 1976. Other versions of the punk classic were available as demos and on one 1975 limited-edition pressing as well.
An earlier live recording by The Heartbreakers, recorded at CBGB on July 7, 1975 appeared on the ''What Goes Around...'' album. Demo recordings of the song also have survived.
A live March 1974 recording at CBGB with Television can be found on ''Spurts: The Richard Hell Story''.
