Well, things change and I’m glad
to be alive to see the change.
There are some great clubs for
their time that are no longer
here because their time is no
longer here. But I think there’s
probably twenty times as many
clubs now say in Brooklyn or
around New York than there
were in the seventies when there
were two or three clubs. So,
those two or three originators
are gone but they’ve left two or
three hundred around. I mean,
there’s plenty of places to go
and plenty of bands to see.
Each generation needs their
own scene, don’t they?
Yeah, I mean I didn’t go to the
Stork Club and I wouldn’t actually want to go back to CBGBs
today with that same crowd.
Things change and I don’t have
nostalgia for the past. It was fun
to do it, but I wouldn’t want to
go back to it.
