No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: John Cale.

“We had a lot of fun recording [Sabotage/Live] there [CBGB’s] on New Year’s Eve. It was dark and greasy. You went there to lose control. I retain affection for the place. Not for the $8 beers, but it was a centre, and everybody knew about it and gravitated towards it. At the end, Hilly [Kristal, founder and owner] wanted it moved to Vegas. That’s branding. If I was a brand, I’d move to Las Vegas.”

— John Cale, Uncut, April 2010.
