Last Thursday's N.Y. Post on page 21 had in big headlines " Prince of the Punks Is dead " pertaining to the passing of Hilly Kristal the owner and founder of CBGB'S ( OMFUG ). I thought the KinKs song title reference was kind of interesting and also that his passing deserved some mention here. I spent many nights and early mornings at CBGB's going back to the 70's and even a few right up through it's recent closing although not as much. I met Hilly Kristal quite a few times through the years and think he had a big part in the 70's NYC punk scene that eventually spread around the world.
