First rule of punk- kill your gods. No real punk would travel to NY to go to CBGB multiple times, anymore than em would travel following the Dead or going to see Journey. A real punker started/supported the movement where em lived. e.g. SLC Punk as an example. CBGB was not a cathedral as we worshipped nothing.

FWIW, Graham, whose American Hardcore creds are pretty good considering he grew up in Cleveland, followed the Dead for a summer in the 80s. ("Curiosity" being his reason for doing so.) He says none of his punk friends had any interest whatsoever in going with him.
