C.B.G.B.

                                                                  
 CBGB was a club in New York in the late 70's that put The Ramones, Joe Jackson, Patti Smith, The Talking Heads,  The Police, The B-52'S and Blondie on the map. Sometime in the early 90's I watched a horror film called "Fear No Evil" that was made in 1981 and featured music by all of aforementioned musicians above.  This is how I discovered the CBGB music scene and it was truly an awakening experience on my 12 year old brain. Ever since then I have had a huge admiration for this time in music evolution that rocketed the first wave of alternative music into the mainstream.  Last year, a film on the CBGB scene was released. The library now owns the dvd for reserve. Please read on for more information
