I bought my first CBGB shirt because the guys in Guns & Roses wore them back in the day 🙂 Waitress took my credit card number and mailed me the shirt… not the smartest thing to do in hindsight
Great conversation about the evolution of rockNroll/pop music’s ongoing history. Things so often water down, but sometimes they don’t. Like Michael said, we shall see. I’m glad I got to perform there.
I had a band I worked with many years ago perform there, but I was not able to fly out for the show.
