watched CBGB, about Hilly Kristal and the seminal New York venue ~ the soundtrack of original recordings is fantastic but, chronologically speaking, the songs, tees, flyers and posters are all over the place!

the film is better than expected and has some interesting casting

On this day, December 3rd, in 1973: From the ashes of "Hilly's on the Bowery," Hilly Kristal opened the doors to CBGB & OMFUG for the first time.

Today’s soundtrack: Television, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, Pere Ubu, Blondie, Jayne County, Dead Boys, Dictators, the Heartbreakers, the Fleshtones, Mink Deville, Ramones, and 8 million other bands.

Today’s horrible screening: ”CBGB” (the movie).
