display: inline; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 33, 41); font-size: 14px;">"The nicest thing Hilly did for PUNK Magazine was to host our 1977 benefit. Virtually every band in the scene (except the Ramones, who were on tour) performed over two weekday nights, and the total take (around $2,000--good money in the 1970s) enabled us to publish PUNK #10 and stay in business for another year or two. He was too cheap to take out an ad, but that was his business decision to make. (Although I still think it would have been cooler if he had backed us; we might have stayed in business!)" - John Holmstrom, founder & editor</p> <p style="margin: 6px 0px 0px; display: inline; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 33, 41); font-size: 14px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 6px 0px 0px; display: inline; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 33, 41); font-size: 14px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 6px 0px 0px; display: inline; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(29, 33, 41); font-size: 14px;">Check out all of the photos on our Instagram <a href="https://instagram.com/cbgbofficial">HERE</a></p> <div class="articles-utility"> <a href="news" class="button back articles-back">Back To News</a> <div class="social-icons"> <ul> <li><span class="st_sharethis_custom"></span></li> <li><span class="st_twitter_custom"></span></li> <li><span class="gp-plus"><g:plusone href="https://www.cbgb.com/news?n_id=317" annotation="none"></g:plusone></span></li> <li><span class="fb-like"><fb:like href="https://www.cbgb.com/news?n_id=317" send="false" width="90" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like></span></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div id="fb-root"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=1111111111"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); </script> </div> </div> </div> </section>   </main> </div> <footer id="page-footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="container"> <div id="copyright"> <p>Copyright © CBGB.
