Even though CBGB's was evicted, Kristal never gave up hope that the spirit of his club would live on and it does in Patti Smith, Blondie, The Talking Heads and every punk generation to come.
If anyone deserves a big old party in the sky, it's this man!
Not seeing anything on a funeral or memorial service yet, but look for the music community to come out in big numbers!
