A new beginning. And an end.

So. It's October 2006. I'm gonna make another attempt at blogging. It may not be anything spectacular, but I'll try to post something every week or so.

To start:

CBGBs.

It's done now. The last music ever to be played there was played last night. While I was never into the punk scene of the 70s and 80s, I appreciate the conribution it made to the music I do listen to. (I do like Blondie)

I guess it's moving to Las Vagas -- interior bits and all. It's not going to be the same. It'll end up being a Disney-esque version of CBGB's. Which if you think about it, is proobably the most ironic and sad fate that a place like CBGBs could have. It would be better to kill it quickly, than have it linger on as a commercialized parody of itself.
