## Resource

Punk rock lost a true titan this past Sunday—Cheetah Chrome, founding Dead Boys guitarist and sonic architect of early punk, died at 71. A force of nature with his raw guitar riffs and unfiltered energy, he helped birth the genre with Rocket From The Tombs and CBGB’s Dead Boys, whose 1977 debut “Young, Loud And Snotty” and anthem “Sonic Reducer” still echo through punk history. Beyond the stage, Cheetah was a kind soul, father to son Rogan, and author of the acclaimed memoir “Cheetah Chrome: A Dead Boy’s Tale.” He later shaped Nashville’s Plowboy Records, releasing his solo EP “Solo” in 2013. His legacy? Unstoppable, unforgettable, and forever loud. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
