There Goes "CBGB's - Vegas"
Hilly Kristal dead at 75. He probably gets a little more credit than he deserves for punk rock, but CBGB's was still pretty important, and he should be remembered for providing Television, the Ramones, and others with a "home" in the 1970s, rather than the years of drawn-out battles to keep CBGB's alive after it had ceased to be relevant (or even good, from what I've heard from some folks).
