re-the-punks-used-to-pogo.html

"We ended where punk began b on the Bowery,
"the street of lost souls",  where a club intended to showcase "Country, Blue
Grass and Blues"  (hence CBGBs) unwittingly gave birth to a very different
kind of sound.  Bobby told the story of how, in 1973, Tom Verlaine blagged a
gig here by  claiming that his band, Television, "dabbled in bluegrass". The
Ramones followed and punk pogoed into being. "Gabba gabba hey!" as  the guys
used to say."
