PATTI GIORDANO: I had a ‘66 Mustang convertible and that made it easier to go from Max’s Kansas City to CBGB’s. We would do that run back and forth—Max’s to CBGB’s—depending on which bands were playing. If there were five different bands playing and we could swing it, and if it was boring at one place, we’d say, “All right, let’s leave.” Then jump in the car, go back, and see another band.
