From a peaceful resting place near the water Rene was a youth born to run from the Acushnet River Run to Boston in 1964 to be wild It was a good time to be young
Walk Away Rene Don't Run
Down to New York Down to be someone Down with Warhol Down with the scene
Walk Away Rene Don't Run
He spoke in poetry He helped people to fame He was loved by many Many loved him back
Walk Away Rene Don't Run
His words were sweet His words were harsh He survived his hardness Without ever becoming too hard
Walk Away Rene Don't Run
The artist aged a gentleman His mind remained a keen 15 He was a runaway at heart They never go home
Walk Away Rene Don't Run
Your friends are close at hand
Walk Away Rene Don't Run
There is no God with a revolver.
Rene Ricard was also involved with the AVATAR, Boston's hippie newspaper.
I have a copy of it somewhere.
Probably stashed with my last jar of Quaaludes.
I didn't know Rene well, but he made me laugh and I love anyone who can tell a good story.
