Everyone there has his or her story, and it’s these tales that this anthology sets out to tell. Not to mourn the loss of the legendary New York club (closed since 2006), but to show what made it such a vital part of musical history for the people who went there. CBGB’s accepted all-comers and for that group of misfits, weirdos and outcasts, it wasn’t just about the music —it was so much more — it was the people, the stories, the sense of adventure. It was life lived urgently.
