Fail. Double fail actually.

Christopher Lee died today. I own DVDs of his movies, and I watched them twice. Anyone who doesn't like vampire movies is a complete dick!

Never heard of him. If this was something you were really into, I won't claim that you were just pretending or that you were stupid for liking something I know nothing about.

Look, I will be shocked if anyone here can match me for visits to CBGBs back when punk was punk. For years I cherished and regularly wore a shirt that had a stain from Joey Ramone's blood on it (from the Paradise). I gave Annie Golden slugs from my flask in a Bowery alley circa 1980. I once pissed in a river with Ivan Kral. Punk may no longer be my thing, but the young Greedy had punk cred.

And all I have to say on the subject is this: back in the day, Patti Smith's homage to jazz was a holy thing.

Seriously.

Only visits before the day Patti Smith got married and punk died count. My competitors are too young to have been there much when it was it.

Evidently one of the perks of the hhonors program other than their shitty rewards program is that they call you three times day to get you to buy a timeshare.

Yup.
I don't discuss jazz creds.

My limit on punk is two songs, unless it's the Clash. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

Love this. Jazz is like Scotch — sometimes enjoyed but never discussed?

Sort of. Except I really hate scotch and I really love jazz.

I knew something about this post bothered me, I mean beyond the fact that it is fantasy, but let's assume it is true. GGG never lived in NY. That means he travelled to CBGB from whereever his school was, or Boston.

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.
