Yeah, CBGB is closing. A sad day for New York.

I didn't go to the Jean Michel opening either. You can only do so much.

Wow, you got off easy Stan. Maripol must have had alot on her mind to let you off the hook like that. As far as that building, I like it. I must really be out of touch with the Motherboards Zeitgeist. First The Gates, now the Astor Place glass building. What's wrong with me? I think it looks cool.
I guess it's very "Anya" of me. I remember when everybody was trying to "Out Punk" each other (as in who could be more Punk) and she won by embracing Disco! The result was The Mudd Club. A Punk Club with velvet ropes outside and a mirror ball, DJ and dancefloor inside. The DJs played punk records as opposed to live bands like CBGBs and Max's (except me, I actually played and truly loved Disco). The punks were so confused, "Isn't this what we are supposed to hate? I don't get it". Then The Contortions turned into James White And The Blacks -a Disco Band! I loved it. One night I was threatened with a bottle for playing "Nigger Music"! It's funny now because "The Nigger" on the turntable was Michael Jackson. Hardly N.W.A. (Niggers With Attitude)
