The Blondie song at the end was originally called Sex Offender and was about Blondie guitarist Gary Valentine, who was arrested for getting a under aged girl pregnant and being arrested for it. He didn't know at the time as the girl said she was of age. The management company told Blondie to change the name as it would cause offence to some people so they changed it to X Offender.
I just saw it at the London Film Festival but has been out in the US already. It's a about the fight to save CBGBs and has good archive footage and some interviews with old punks, but only fleeting appearance from Richard Hell. Google and it's on CBGBs website

just to nitpick a little, wasn't it Television who officially made Hilly turn over to getting bands like them in?
and didn't Johnny Ramone play barre chords, not power chords?
