“There wasn\u2019t a feeling of winning the lottery. There wasn\u2019t this idea of if we play our cards right, we can play that mansion. It was like – if we play our cards right, then we can do something we love.” – Chris Stamey<\/em><\/p>\n

In From CBGB to the World: A Downtown Diaspora<\/strong>, Rolling Stone<\/em> Senior Writer David Fricke<\/strong> moderates a conversation about the lasting cultural impact of the iconic NYC venue CBGB, featuring a group of musicians and creatives who were regulars of the stage and bar. Joining Fricke is Tina Weymouth<\/strong> (Talking Heads & Tom Tom Club), Chris Frantz<\/strong> (Talking Heads & Tom Tom Club), Chris Stamey<\/strong> (The dB\u2019s), Richard Lloyd<\/strong> (Television), and Julia Gorton<\/strong> (rock photographer).<\/p>\n

The conversation focuses in on NYC\u2019s rock scene as the seventies ended<\/strong>, a period when the music was being reimagined and the economics of the city provided a place for the next generation of \u201cstarving artists\u201d to hone their craft and find inspiration in the gritty atmosphere. More than just a history lesson, the speakers also talk about aspects of the musical creative process that are timeless – the willingness to suffer for your art, the drive to pursue art through adversity, and the importance of finding a unique musical identity.<\/p>\n

“I always tell young people who want to be professional musicians – be prepared to make very good friends with lady poverty, and find a dive that nobody else plays out so no one can take it out from under you.” – Richard Lloyd<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
