HILLY KRISTAL

CBGB closed its doors last year and today it's owner, Hilly Kristal, has passed away. I recall having conversations with Bill about CBGB and I can only guess that he saw one of his favorite bands in their early stages while they were performing there - Talking Heads.


I know that at least one of you may have memories of going there with Bill - are you out there Jim? If you have any story (stories?) you'd like to share, we'd all appreciate it...

Here are a few photos of the club and a Talking Heads song that mentions the club in the lyrics.
