Vol.1 Japan Chapter 8 CBGB (5)
"Dear Avril, I'm sorry I received your letter and tape, I didn't stay at the head office in Japan, and I'm sorry that you spent so many Canadian dollars in vain, sending the letter and tape to Japan Recently, I've been busy with school exams, "Youth Musical" and inter-school band competitions, I've heard your tape, although there are still a little flaws, but overall it's still very good, please continue to keep it up, if you can, please learn to write your own songs. Singing someone else's song is different from singing a song you wrote, you can sing to me about what is happening around you and your friends in the form of a song. I'll be glad to hear your original song, so if you send a letter, send it to me. Also, I'm not a mouse, I'm Jerry, and by the way, if you're free during the holidays in early July, take a trip to New York, and I'll take you to see the mecca of punk music, where the finals of the CBGB Club Intercollegiate Band Competition will be held."
After a brief reply to Avril, Jerry pulled out a cassette of Green Sun's latest album from the music stand, and after thinking about it, he threw the cassette aside and took the acoustic guitar on the wall instead, and recorded a guitar playing and singing for Avril. It's kind of back and forth
After solving the rock elf matter, Jerry sat down in front of the bookcase, preparing for the future direction of the CBGB club.
The full name of the CBGB club is "CBGB_OMFUG", which means country, bluegrass music and blues, and at that time, there was no word punk. Heineken. Christopher started the CBGB club because he wanted to have a small bar in Manhattan, New York, where young people who like grassroots blues or alternative music as much as he did. Heineken. Christopher never imagined that this would become the birthplace of punk music. In 1974, the TV band and the Ramons announced the birth of this new form of music with a passionate, authentic, and simple three-chord music. After that, Talking Head Band, Blonde Beauty Band, Iggy . Pop, soup. Pei, female rock hero Petty. Smith, the Prodigal Sons and many others have left their footprints on the stage of CBGB clubs. The New York punk movement centered on the CBGB club has crossed the ocean and flourished in the United Kingdom, so to speak, if there is no CBGB club, there would be no sex pistol band, no U2 band, no impact band, no punk, but a few years later, because the rent on New York's Second Avenue was nearly twenty times more expensive, due to the expiration of the lease, the CBGB club could only end up going out of business.
The CBGB club is a mecca for punk music, and Jerry naturally doesn't want it to go out of business, at least not until the punk elves are here.
So, let's buy
Not only 315 Bauwell Street and the relatively quiet room and basement next door, but also the nearby 317 Bauwell Street, 316 Bauwell Street, 314 Bauwell Street, 313 Bauwell Street, and then all this piece of house was opened, and the upper floor was converted into a rock and roll audio venue, and the basement was rebuilt into a bar and concert venue
That's right, it will be built into a well-known underground concert club in New York, the United States, and even Shijie
The operating income from the bar operation and the audio hypermarket is used to sustain the club, while the underground venue serves as the main venue for the discovery of new bands.
That's right, develop the CBGB club into a new music brand. To be one of the shareholders of a music company with CBGB club as its brand, Heineken. Mr. Christopher should be pleased.
Jerry smiled, grabbed the pen, and began to outline the development plan of the CBGB club, he must build the framework of an independent music company, daily operations, recording studios, store operations, market expansion, etc., etc., these are all necessary, maybe it will be more convenient to directly hang on to the existence of a music label as a dream factory, um~ Discuss with Yi Tian Xun or Howard, the two of them are experts in operation...,
Early the next morning, Jerry went out with his school bag on his back, and he was waiting for Natalie. Portman.
The door to Hessleg's house finally opened.
"Good morning, Mr. Hessleg," Jerry said to Avena as he walked out the door. Heslegr said hello, "Good morning Natalie~" Of course, he didn't forget Natalie who was following Avena. Portman.
"Good morning, is Jerry waiting for Natalie?". Avena nodded to Jerry.
"Yes, Mr. Hessleg."
Ever since Jerry knew about Natalie. After Portman was his neighbor, he came to the door early every morning and waited for him. Heslegr is very familiar, and in addition, Avener himself has a good impression of Jerry, so he also turns one eye open and one eye closed for some small relationships between Jerry and Natalie
"Let's go, Natalie~"
Jerry looked at Natalie. Portman glanced at her, then turned around and walked in front of her, a habit that had lasted for more than a month
The reason for this is entirely because in the first month, Natalie. Portman didn't give Jerry a good look at all.
Of course, whether there is a good face or not, for three-no products, this is not a problem at all.
The two of them walked to the intersection one after the other as usual, and then stood quietly waiting for the school bus.
"Natalie~"
"What are you doing~"
"Are you free during the summer vacation? How about coming with me to California? ”
"During the summer vacation, there is a movie to be made." Natalie. Portman, on the other hand, was uncharacteristically unconventional and did not directly answer Jerry with the word "no."
"Going to make a movie again? Wasn't it not long after filming "Killer Leon"? ”。
"It's Michael. "The Line of Fire" directed by Mann. ”
"I see. Al. Pacino and Robert. De Niro"
"How do you know?"
"Gossip news, I'll also pay attention"
"Boredom~"
"Robert. De Niro, "The Drums of War", "The Godfather 2", "Taxi Driver", "Once Upon a Time in America", Al. Pacino, "The Godfather" series, "Scarface", "Dick Tracy", "Supreme Detective", "Modern Aiqing Story", "Money Worshippers", "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", the two major actors, Natalie, you can really pick a scene"
Natalie. Portman's brown eyes lit up suddenly, and she turned her head to look at the fingers she was folding, like a treasure, and said that Robert. De Niro and Al. Jerry of Pacino's work looked incredulous.
She was about to say something when the school bus arrived, and Jerry pulled Natalie, who was a little stunned. Portman, just got in the car. ……,
