Here is 'TV-CBGB'



Wow. A big score for our friends at This Ain’t the Summer of Love, who tracked down an episode of the ultra-obscure "TV-CBGB" cable-access show… featuring the comedy stylings of the CBGB staff… (LAUGH TRACK ALERT!) as well as performances by Idiot Savant, The Roustabouts, The Hard, Jo Marshall, Shrapnel and Sic F*cks.

Here is a 30-minute episode from 1981…



Head over to This Ain’t the Summer of Love for more about the show.

    I never was a Billboard reader coming up; were they so out of touch with the downtown music scene at the time that they didn't know the band's name is Certain General, or was the pluralization more likely an editing error?

    Probably not the most important thing in the world, but I find that kind of stuff interesting.
