Stephen Ronan is an artist, poet and musician who performed on KPFA and made recordings with Don Joyce of Negativland. His new wave era band, the original Red Aunts, performed in SF and Oakland and had local and widespread air play. Later band God Nose videos are pushing 100k views on YouTube. An early Punk adherent, he became acquainted with many of the original figures and hosted book parties at City Lights bookstore by David Byrne and Laurie Anderson. For a lark he began taking single sleeves to shows to get signed in 1978-98.I would go to multiple shows a week often on the guest list. The things offered here were almost all signed at shows at peak popularity, in person with cordial chats that sometimes led to hanging out. A life in music including study with Archie Shepp and others recognized for his poetry and his scholarship on the Beat Generation, Ronan compiled and published the first comprehensive annotated discography of the Beat era, Disks of the Gone World in 1996. He produced 3 box sets on the Beats for Rhino and he was an historical consultant on The Source, The Beat Gen X.
