SNL Does CBGB

CBGB will soon be closed, and as an homage - SNL ran a short this past weekend. As we mentioned before, it was as a part of their New York Stories segements.

Whether the parody is funny or just sad, one must appreciate Fred Armisen portraying Lou Reed.

Tim, they aren't making fun of the time period, they're making fun of the people who constantly say the same things over and over and over again about they way the Bowery used to be. (My apartment was $2/month, there used to be XYZ place there, I saw Dee Dee shoot up on that corner, etc etc etc).
