My partner has played at CBGB's a few times, the first year we were together and he was touring the US i stayed up til four in the morning to watch a streamed internet broadcast from CBGB's when he played there - he dedicated a song to me, it was called Rocket 69 :). Nowadays i see kids wandering round the streets with CBGB tshirts on, wearing the logo like it's Nike, not knowing what it is, what it means, it's just a cool looking logo that could be made up in some fashion house or another. Like Motorhead tshirts and MC5 tshirts these days. it's just like punk. the bastards bought it off the street wrapped it up in pretty paper and sold it back to the next generation. my kids can buy ready made torn shirts complete with generic graffiti and extra safety pins. ghosts of bands, venues and movements haunt the highstreet.
