cozmic joke for Hilly
CBGB = Country, Bluegrass & Blues = the original premise of the club
dreamed up by Hilly Kristal, the former folk singer guy who opened a
joint on the Bowery. Unbeknownst to him..a new form came to roost
within, punk or new wave or whatever the hell you call it..a sonic
movement as powerful as abstract expressionism or cubism ..but Hilly
was cool enough to go with the flow, and not chase out the wierdos
from Forest Hills and Bayside and Elizabeth and Union who played way
too loud and out of key...one of the best examples I know of a cosmic
joke...Had Hilly insisted on Country Bluegrass and Blues he wouldn't
have lasted 5 months..noone played that stuff or wanted to hear
it...and Hilly curated a cultural explosion..
