Guys, I don't know what to say... http://www.petitiononline.com/landmark/petition.html http://www.cbgb.com/save_cbgb.htm To the Musicians, Fans and Friends of CBGB; My Landlord is "BRC" These are the people that have control over whether I stay or go. The current money situation and legal status of the club, despite what Muzzy Rosenblatt says, is not in negotiation. It is in the courts to be decided by a judge. I am not going to cast aspersions on the representatives of the BRC, as they have on me. I only wish the problem be solved so we can both "do our thing" If you want us here, the BRC has to be persuaded that a gradual increase in rent is feasible. Hilly Kristal, Owner of CBGB Send a letter to The Mayor's Office asking Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg if he's prepared to say "CBGB can be closed down because they can't pay 40-50 thousand dollars per month rent to a non profit organization that is funded by the city, state and federal government to the tune of 23 million dollars per year."

Wow, have not been there in over 20 years, never thought it would close. Many bands launched their careers at that place.
There remains no finer band, IMHO than this group that made it big at CBGB: Image Unavailable, Please Login
