watched the movie about cbgb's

I walked down there from 9 early one morning when we were up from DC
looked at the front door
I suppose it was all literary there by then
but the movie was informative
too bad they had such a stuffed shirt in the lead
the owner manager puffed  daddy of the genre
if you can call it that
I guess it was
myself I had the first mullet
in response to our own club
madams organ
such as it was
a music venue for the bad brains and such
teen idles
the cramps and so on into the night
when I was pregnant with tony
and we moved to winchester
where he was born

those were the days and now we're getting old
it would seem
like the decrepit misters in the cornerhouse
which is going to become 'a beeg hotel'...according to the evening news
things change
but punk was always in a class of its own
and the music was VERY LOUD
I really liked the name 'richard hell and the voidoids'
and then there was 'teenage jeasus and the jerks'
which was mentioned in the movie
amen all
and a good night to those startched spikes
that didn't get in their either
it would seem those might have been the lengendary city rats
or the hot air of the main character
becazuse there wasn't room for anything else
the movie was almost human
too bad hilly wasn't a hillbillly
because being jewish lost a few things in translation
ssoon as they started mentioning tattoo numbers and camps
the little vacuum started to suk up the details
and soon the movie ended and made cbgb's the place down the street
from 9 where the roaches traveled the walls in lines, like  a german highway
which it probably still is
