One More Time

One last video from last night's CB's performance, in which Patti explains her first time seeing Television live at the club. It's such a bittersweet feeling. I felt so sad when I walked by the club on the way to work this morning. I anticpate there being graffiti outside that real estate for the foreseeable future. CBGB will live on in name. Go easy, brother.

Go Easy, Brother

Patti Smith last night, with special guests Richard Lloyd and Flea on bass.

AND THIS MORNING AT 9:30

Fade Away

Okay, I know it's been awhile since my last posting, and I'm sorry. Is being sick last week and having the Macbook random shutdown problem a good enough excuse? Well, contrary to what you think they are legit excuses. But now I am happy to report that the self-proclaimed geniuses have (hopefully) fixed my computer.

I would also like to report with much happiness that I will be attending the final show at CBGB on October 15. Patti Smith is playing, but you can bet that other punk rock luminaries will be there; or at least the ones who are still alive!

I was talking to a good friend of mine about how it's time for that place to close down already. It has basically become a mockery of itself, selling to the Urban Outfitters crowd who desperately try and imitate a movement that no longer exists. Neil Young said it best, it's better to burn out than to fade away.
