CBGB's best days were just before Gen X was able to get in!
When I was high school freshman in Jersey City in 1981 I didn't realize how radical it was to be playing The Ramones and Talking Heads at a high school dance. We wreathed on the floor during "Rock Lobster" and jumped high in the air during "Shout" while people attended the Halloween dance in togas.
Only years later would I get to CBGBs and by that time, glam rock hair bands had already taken over from the punk/new wave music scene.
Nope, I've got to hand it to the younger Boomers who put the nail in the coffin of disco.
