As I type this out, I'm listening to the last show at the "legendary" C.B.G.B.'s on Sirius 24 (Disorder) & the only woman that Robert Mapplethorpe laid pipe into.....Patti Smith is the closing act. Bring down the curtain & get over IT people !
Smith, as usual is full of herself. The band is sloppy. She told a punk rock paparazzi to fuck off and demanded that Gitmo be closed ( & in a nifty media savy moment she also happend to unveil a new song about *supprise* said prison called <> "Chains").
After a break (old folks need their rest you know) I was assualted with the WORSE cover of "Sonic Reducer". EVER.
Think of your mom singing it DRUNK & karaoke style. It's that bad.
Stiv is rolling in his grave right now (and sadly not over a teenage Brooke Shields).
So, all of this mishegas to move some T-shirts & other tacky souvenirs ? I guess so.
I always was under the impression that "punk" was in rebellion to all of the forced phony youth culture that was soul robbing & a way to make a quick buck off the gullible who belived in such things.
Well, I got the sucker part right. CB's closing is proof.
Besides, punk's not dead -it's in a mall near you for $ 20!
