About thirty years ago I learned how #America was introduced to #PunkRock and #NewWaveMusic by #NewYork club #CBGB.

CBGB was where #TheRamones, #Blondie and maybe #PattySmyth got a lot of exposure.

I always thought it was a little funny that the club's name was an #Acronym for #Country (music), #Bluegrass and #Blues.

Because whenever I think of Blondie or the Ramones, of COURSE I'm thinking of country music, bluegrass, and the blues.

@FatherEnoch CBGB was a great place. I only went once. Just never forget that NYC is a country town, as much as it's also a rap town and a rock town.

I just find it wild how the club became the #PunkRock mecca.

With the name #CBGB, it sounded like they wanted to open a #Honytonk.

I would have expected such a place to want #JerryReed or #JohnnyCash, not #JoeyRamone or #PattySmyth.
