What's an appropriate sentiment for the death of CBGB's founder Hilly Kristal?
Rest in Peace is the cliche but that seems wrong for someone who created a revolution in music and pop culture. I confess that I never went to his club but I spent countless hours enjoying the music of the bands that he spawned and nurtured.

Thank you Hilly, we never met but I'm glad you were around. You made the world a better place.

1. All those bands (that still exist) should get together and do a tribute album
that'd be waaaaaay cooler than "Rest in Peace"!

Sad, sad day.

4. "It's a good thing you listened to Tom and Richard when they wanted a place to play"
Rest In Peace
