	Penny Rimbaud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jeremy John Ratter (born 8 June 1943, Northwood, Middlesex, England), better known under his pseudonym of Penny Rimbaud, is a drummer, writer, poet, former member of performance art group EXIT and co-founder of the anarchist punk band Crass with Steve Ignorant in 1977.
		Rimbaud (so named as a tribute to poet Arthur Rimbaud) set up the anarchist/pacifist Dial House community in 1967 with Gee Vaucher, and, together with his friend Phil Russell (aka Wally Hope), helped to instigate the free festival movement at Windsor and later Stonehenge during the early 1970s.
		As documented in Rimbaud's essay Last of the Hippies [1] and his autobiography Shibboleth, Russell was arrested and incarcerated in a mental institution after having been found in possession of a small amount of LSD.

	Arthur Rimbaud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (October 20, 1854 – November 10, 1891) was a French poet, born on October 20, 1854, in Charleville and died on November 10, 1891 in Marseille.
		Rimbaud's and Verlaine's stormy homosexual relationship took them to London in 1872, when Verlaine left his wife and infant son (whom he used to mistreat badly during his alcoholic rages).
		Rimbaud developed right knee synovitis which degenerated into a carcinoma, and his state forced him to return to France on May 9, 1891, where his leg was amputated on May 27.

	N16, Stoke Newington's own magazine Issue 22 Summer 2004
		Penny was the founder of anarchopunk band Crass in 1977, and the band remains today a massive underground influence on younger anarchists, antiauthoritarian protestors, antiglobalisation campaigners and all attracted by its ‘laissez-faire existentialism’ stance.
		Penny’s reasoning for why they were never prosecuted is that the State had too much to lose by putting the band on open trial.
		Penny (among other things, a jazz fan since he was a kid) has been a regular at the venue for the last ten years and has played a monthly gig there for the last two years as part of the ‘Crass Collective’.

		"Penny Rimbaud (/ J.J. Rimbaud) was at the core both of the hippie and of the punk movement in Britian.
		Rimbaud is a creative writer--at times beautiful in his freedoms, while on other pages his disorder is inneffectual and tedious.
		Shining through in a somewhat different light in Penny's autobiography than in their songwork, Crass' anarcho-pacifist beliefs stem from the idea that "people are basically good, and that it was social conditions and social conditioning that produced the aberration of anti-social behavior." I reccomend this book for anyone interested in the smart side of punk.

		Rimbaud had written a fan letter from Charleville, and was invited to Paris to stay with Verlaine and his pretty bourgeois wife, Mathilde, who was about to give birth to their son.
		Rimbaud was Verlaine’s “radiant sin.” Verlaine was merely Rimbaud’s “cher petit.” Rimbaud was only escaping from his mother and her demands that he find a job, or else.
		Rimbaud, in the process of putting the finishing touches to his life as a poet, was seeking his first proper job.

		The band came together when Dial House founder and former member of avant garde performance art group EXIT Penny Rimbaud (real name Jerry Ratter) began jamming with Clash fan Steve Ignorant, who was staying at the house at the time.
		By the bands' own account this was a drunken debacle, ending in the group being ejected from the stage, and immortalised by their song "Banned from the Roxy" [1] and Rimbaud's essay Crass at the Roxy [1].
		The band has stated that their musical antecedents and influences were seldom drawn from the rock music tradition, but rather from classical music (particularly Benjamin Britten, from who, Rimbaud states, some of Crass' riffs are direct plagiarisms!), dada and the avant-garde such as John Cage as well as performance art traditions.

		Rimbaud's story was that while working towards a second Stonehenge festival, Russell was arrested for possession of a small quantity of LSD for which he was placed on remand, where he refused to wear a prison uniform.
		Rimbaud investigated the case further, uncovered a number of cover-ups, and received death threats as a result.
		Rimbaud's is an odd and very muddled story, in which many details do not concur with other known facts about the case.

		Following several recent successful and enjoyable readings/performances, Penny has decided to make himself available for further shows either solo or with one or other of his many jazz playing comrades.
		Varying from the overtly political to the outright pornographic, Penny's writing already has a large following, his performance skills are less known, but no less powerful.
		Penny's autobiography, 'Shibboleth - my revolting life', covers life before, during and after the CRASS era and gives a broader insight into a writer whose passion for life was so powerfully exposed in the well respected writings and lyrics he produced during that era.

	Arthur Rimbaud (1854 - 1891)
		These prose and verse poems show Rimbaud as a precursor of symbolism, with his use of childhood, dream and mystical images to express dissatisfaction with the material world and a longing for the spiritual.
		The Parisian poets who took him under their wing soon discovered that Rimbaud was ungrateful, crude, and as scornful of their precious verse as he was of the Catholic Church, bourgeois proprieties, and everything else his disapproving mother held dear.
		Rimbaud's stormy affair with Paul Verlaine estranged the older poet from his wife and, eventually, from most of his artistic friends as well.

		Rimbaud, as most will know, was a core member of the hippie and punk movements in the UK.
		But oh, how the mighty… Dressed in white with his straggly blonde hair Rimbaud gesticulated and enunciated perfectly well, bounding all round the stage and to the middle of the hall but his rantings went on way, way, way too long.
		There's no doubt Penny Rimbaud's roots are basically hippie but wasn't punk meant to have overthrown this.
