Rhapsody Song of the Day
Album: Blank Generation
Artist: Richard Hell
Selected by: Nick Dedina
Date: October 16, 2008
Legendary NYC club CBGB closed on this day in 2006. Open-minded and ever filthy, it gave acts like the Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads, Patti Smith and Richard Hell & the Voidoids their first shot. Hell even wrote a fine article for the New York Times about its closure (http://www.richardhell.com/CBGBTimes.html). "Blank Generation" is one song that sums up that scene, started by all those crazy kids who converged on the sinking city during the '70s.
