Hilly Kristal - dead
Posted on August 30th, 2007 by The Big Fez
Hilly Kristal, the man who owned and operated CBGB’s in New York until it closed last year, has died from lung cancer.
Although CBGB’s was opened to showcase Country Bluegrass and Blues bands, it really was the home to punk. Blondie, The Talking Heads and The Ramones all got their start there.
