The passing of a legend. A controversial figure, but beloved by countless musicians.
I guess it's fitting he died before he could see the site of CBGB turned into luxury condos or a goddamn Sephora.

Well, there's his family, who surely will have an interest in the lucrative swag sales, as well as the Las Vegas venture.

A very nice man.Quite a character. I forgive him for letting Sean Lennon cut in front of me after standing in line for 1 hour.

Is that Vegas location still a "go"? I really hope not.
CBGB in Vegas, come the fuck on! The last thing we need is another punk rock beaten dead horse.
