People love to create fictional stories, especially to get the attention of others.
Some of these stories look like conspiracies and/or science fiction scenarios.
Of course, everyone loves conspiracies and everyone in one way or another creates their own!
So, we decided to create our own … If of course, you want to help in this we will gladly accept yours too!
Stories? Conspiracy? Scenario?
The punk scene in New York was highlighted by the city’s mafia
The punk scene in New York was highlighted by the city’s mafia
Anyone who deals with music even a little will easily find that things are not ideal.
Certainly, the most talented musician is not the most popular or best-selling.
And this does not depend entirely on the musical ignorance (or ignorance in general) from which the absolute majority of the planet is possessed…
But also, from the ways in which an artist is promoted.
Even seemingly pure, punk surrendered to organized crime for a little money more and of course, for glory.
One of the birthplaces and one of the most important scenes of punk rock is that of New York.
However, its emergence is not accidental, as the triptych of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, also attracted the mafia of the American big city.
In the face of this music, they saw a global opening, to these 3 “objects” that controlled the city in the ’70s.
Drugs, prostitution, and of course record labels.
In fact, the managers of bands such as Blondie, Ramones, and New York Dolls were none other than Sonny Gambino’s employees.
The well-known family controlled much of the city.
Dee Dee Ramone was the dealer of this family, but he used more than he sold.
Thus, with the contracts of the bands that he attracted, but also of his own, he paid off his huge debts.
Things relaxed a bit in the 1980s, mostly in the midst of it.
Bands remained in history with their past buried in the graves of some mafioso.
