Oh my GOD I can't believe you've been to CBGB's! But of course you have ...
Australia seems so far away quite often. I was awe-struck enough just to
get a snapshot out of the tourbus window of it when I was in NY in '94
(just too late to be there for its big anniversary!). I've grown up reading
about (and loving) the whole CBGB's/Max's Kansas City scene - Patti Smith,
Television, Talking Heads et al ... it fascinates me to no end, even though
I was barely a tot when it was all happening -thus the extra thrill at
seeing them the other year. Man you are lucky!
P.S. Good point about that second edition Catcher. I still envy him it
madly! Collecting different Catcher editions is somewhat of a habit of
mine. One for the home, one for the office ...
