Very interesting history, you bad boy, you!

I recently saw a documentary about CBGB's.

Amazing how many great bands got their start in that little hole-in-the-wall!

I had similar experiences starting in early 70s when I was in high school in the Chicago area. Same thing back then, with the alcohol/drugs. Nobody in the city really cared how old you were: I started getting into dives when I was 15. Didn't even need to gain entry cuz there was grass/bootleg booze all over the streets. I missed a lot of school, which I'm not particularly proud of, now. But, it was what it was.
