The Ramones, Blondie, and the Talking Heads all had their start at the CB GB's. The scene influences a clothing store owner from Britain who took some of this idea back to London and presented at his shop. A few kids approached him telling him that they wanted to start a band. This band was to become the Sex Pistols which would along with Clash, become the center piece of Punk music. Punk music didn't really find footings in affluent middle class America, it was Reggae music from Jamaica that did that. In this episode, Rasta music's influence is explored. After ten years of Punk music, another type of music from the streets called "Grunge" takes shape in America.
