From its opening on the Bowery in 1973 to its demise in 2006, CBGB & OMFUG (an acronym for Country Bluegrass Blues & Other Music for Uplifting Gourmandizers) had an indelible impact on rock history. Down through the years, club-goers added their own artwork to the mix: CBGB owner Hilly Kristal always encouraged fans to cover every available surface in the club with graffiti. CBGB: Decades of Graffiti celebrates the unbridled spirit of this New York counterculture landmark by reproducing its wall writings, etchings, and drawings.
