CBGB: The End of an Era
I first learned about the power of a great music venue after meeting with SIRIUS Disorder’s Meg Griffin.
The passion and respect shared by Meg about this place only adds to the emotion behind it’s closing. Surely fans will appreciate what CBGB’s founder and owner, Hilly Kristal, said:
“Although we mourn the closing of CBGB, we should remember CBGB, not merely as a place. It is a state of mind.”
SIRIUS will broadcast CBGB’s final concert, featuring artist Patti Smith, on SIRIUS Disorder (24), beginning at 9 pm ET on Sunday October 15.
