    Fun to read a review of the Ramones from back in the day! Would've loved to have gone to the CBGB Rock Festival. I remember reading about that in Rolling Stone.

    If I could tell you how great Club 82 was you would come on yourself. First of it was downstairs. The only ones who were of unambiguous gender were those who were NOT the gender they appeared. It was too great. Plus all the drugs in the world and a generous spirit. One of the best place on earth. Like a safe Frida's Disco.
