CBGB - 315 Bowery
New York native Hilly Kristal had booked jazz acts at another NYC music landmark, the Village Vanguard, before opening CBGB ("Country BlueGrass Blues ") in 1973. From that point on he became the patron saint of punk. CBGB launched the careers of the Ramones, Talking Heads, Blondie, and Patti Smith, among others. The club also had some pretty punk bathrooms - if punk means dangerously filthy. CBGB was forced to close on October 15, 2006, over a rent dispute. Kristal died from lung cancer less than a year later. The location is now a very un-punk John Varvatos clothing store. Although the graffiti in the bathroom has been preserved.

On Celebrity Reality TV Trainwrecks...
Chopergirl said "I have always loved her. She has been a very good part of entertainment - I remember when she was in Roots. AND then CHEERS, and then the talking babies with John Travolta. My gosh, we all have problems, and with those come stress eating at times...She is beautiful regardless of what she weighs, and not only physically beautiful, but also beautiful inside. She has had her heart broke just like the rest of us, and struggles like the rest of us....to bad people expect her to be perfect as that is what imperfect people like to see - someone perfect to make them feel better. Projecting their OWN disappointment onto others, in some sick way, makes them feel a little better. That is a terrible post about her. I will watch her show."

On Celebrity Reality TV Trainwrecks...
Sardonica said "How is she anymore a train wreck than ANY body else, celebrity or not? We all have our issues. She is at least trying to better herself, not trash those around her, or laugh at the misfortunes of others. You're as bad as Perez. YOU are the one that needs to get a life, not her. "

On Oprah's Love Couch Confessionals...ratt said "Don't the people who read this crap have anything at all better to worry about? Is it REALLY any of your concern what this movie star or that musician is up to in their personal lives? Did any of you useless tabloid bottom feeding twats notice that I used the word PERSONAL? Not likely, because the people that read this stuff don't think anyone has a life that they can't have access to. A word for those who have nothing better to do than concern themselves about others in the spotlight... pathetic."
