Citações: Hilly Crystal e Marky Ramone, o CBGB e a actualidade dos Ramones

Na sequência do post anterior.

Hilly Krystal, proprietário do CBGB, sobre o nome do clube: "CBGB - OMFUG":

"The question most often asked of me is, "What does CBGB stand for?" I reply, "It stands for the kind of music I intended to have, but not the kind that we became famous for: COUNTRY BLUEGRASS BLUES." The next question is always, "but what does OMFUG stand for?" and I say "That's more of what we do, It means OTHER MUSIC FOR UPLIFTING GORMANDIZERS." And what is a gormandizer? It's a voracious eater of, in this case, MUSIC."

Marky Ramone, o único membro vivo dos Ramones, entrevistado por ocasião da apresentação do documentário Burning Down the House: The Story of CBGB, no Tribeca Film Festival (2009), sobre a actualidade da banda:

"People don't change...technology does. And people have the same problems they did years ago...jobs, economy, their siblings, their girlfriends, boyfriends, school situations, confrontations, you know, so it's really all the same, you know?"

E aqui fica o vídeo da entrevista a Marky Ramone...
