Why the hell would they close this place?? It was always my dream to go see it. Now all I'll be able to see is the bathrooms. And I'll have to walk through some high-fucking-end designer menswear store to get there.

Fuck corporate America!

MTV killed any passion people had for music. Passion is everything. Sad, really sad.

@PunkLobo your right

all these hipsters make me wanna barf

@PunkLobo Music was around since the beginning of wom/man kind. MTV didn't kill passion for music, MTV killed music on television. The M should be replaced with an "R" for reality.

Then you would know Patti Smith was an integral piece in early punk.

I spent my formative years hanging out there - I'm so glad I did! The Dead Boys (Smoked a "j" with J. Zero~ heart throb....), Suicide, The Shirts, Patti Smith, The Ramones, Blondie. Got mugged going home one night. Passed out on the street one night - someone laced a joint with angel dust, fell in love for 5 minutes one night. Ah, sweet, wasted youth~

@PunkLobo how did mtv kill passion for music? they like everything else is a choice watch or dont

[Teamsleeper]

i think CBGB's final show did not represent what the place was all about.. to me CBGB's will always be about punk and hardcore... fuck patti smith and her bullshit music and fuck all those kids wearing CB's tees w/out even knowing what is

the spirit of CBGB's lives somewhere behind the barcodes of the Varvatos shop. Once a month the clothes are hidden and the stage emerges. Went to NYC for the first time recently searching for many things. Walked into Varvatos and found slivers of CBGB's. Got invited to return in the PM for the monthly show and free PBR. A NY band, the Dead Sparrows, were killing it. Then I took a cab to Brooklyn to see Ultramagnetic MC's at Southpaw. Dope shows. I got drunk.
