Do the Right Thing, and please, Please renew CBGBs lease.


Why?

Because:

"CBGB’s has been home to roughly 75 bands a week – every week- for over 3o years.

Aside from the diverse mix of bands presented at CB's from punk to jazz, the CBGB Gallery next door hosts poetry readings and art exhibits, including hundreds of benefit shows for important causes such as the Lymphoma Research Foundation and the Tsunami Disaster Fund, among many others. "

and

"CBGB's is not only a cultural icon, it is an important tourist destination. Furthermore, the rock bands it has developed, including legends such as the Ramones, Blondie, the B52s, the Talking Heads, and the Police, as well as new bands such as the Strokes, have generated thousands of jobs for the citys music industry.

The BRC is non-profit charity almost exclusively funded by the city and state, and it would be inappropriate for taxpayer money to be used to evict this important NYC landmark."

CBGB is the ultimate rocks/jazz place. It is home to many bands that we used to see and still see and the ones who are started up today. The ramones were started mainly on cbgb. Their style of punk rock was not favored by many gigs. they were discovered at cbgb. Without CBGB, we probably wouldnt have bands today like ramones, sex pistols, the clash, even the rolling stones. i say put them back. they have gone to far to give it all up. who knows what legendary bands will come for them in the future. CBGB 4 life
