There are hundreds of other people more qualified for this task, not only because of their superior writing skills, but also because of their deeper connection to the man honored in this book. Be that as it may, Cynthia True asked me to try because she knew how much I respected and was informed by his talent.

Beginning in 1990, Tool have become highly influential for several music movements, produced multi-platinum selling records topping the charts in several countries, and won three Grammy Awards, yet due to their intense and multi- layered music, they have remained an alternative act; A Perfect Circle met with similar response. Unlike most of music bands, Tool are a democratic group in the sense that no “spokesman” for the band exists and A Perfect Circle was started by its guitarist Billy Howerdell; however, Keenan’s lyrics are important, for they provide a context for the music. He approaches many issues in his songs, such as personal feelings, manipulation, social criticism, hypocrisy, religion or censorship.

    CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO LONDON N. BREED, MAYOR OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS REGINA DICK-ENDRIZZI, DIRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE JULY 22, 2019 PUNCH LINE SAN FRANCISCO Application No.: LBR-2018-19-058 Business Name: Punch Line San Francisco Business Address: 444 Battery Street District: District 3 Applicant: Live Nation Worldwide, Inc., Owner/Operator Nomination Date: May 16, 2019 Nominated By: Supervisor Aaron Peskin Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Punch Line San Francisco is the longest-running comedy club in the city, established in 1978. The Punch Line was originally founded by Jonathan and Anne Fox along with Jeffrey and Patricia Pollack. The Foxes are the founders of the San Francisco International Comedy Competition. The venue was sold to Bill Graham in 1980. Bill Graham was a German-American impresario and rock concert promoter who made famous The Fillmore and Winterland Arena and had a profound influence around the world. In 1997, SFX Entertainment purchased Bill Graham Presents, and then in 2000 Clear Channel Entertainment bought SFX. Clear Channel operated the venue until 2005 when it spun off into a new company name: Live Nation Worldwide, Inc. The venue has operated under the "Clubs & Theaters" division of Live Nation since then, called House of Blues Entertainment. The Punch Line quickly established itself as a premier comedy club for performers and audiences alike. The citywide comedy festival SF Sketchfest operates in partnership with the Punch Line for 3 weeks out of each year. The Punch Line’s weekly Sunday showcase is the longest-running comedy showcase in the entire city of San Francisco.
