Why post if thats all you have to say?

I know that this club probably means alot to some people, and to some of the bands that made it big (using that club as a stepping stone). But i just think we should look at it like this: There will be many more clubs like this. Many awesome, unsigned/unappreciated bands will be trying to make it all over the world. It's great that the club helped, but shouldn't we make way for the new?

Also, if the major has decided to knock it down it i think it must not have been that popular (nor a business with a big income). I'm not saying that makes it crap but... its not a good sign.

I dont live in New York, nor have I ever been there, but even in my home millions of miles away I have heard about the importance of it. I hope it gets saved.

All this stuff about how CBGBS means nothing to you because it you've never been there or whatever--it's bullshit.
It makes no difference weither or not you've been there, or even if its just some dingy club. Its history, and sure we can make way for the new, but not by knocking down something that has had something with such a past.
And I'm sure if some of your favourite bands or whatever had left there mark there--you'd put yourself in a different position.
So,I say,save CBGB's!
"Never give up, even if you feel like it."
Every bit counts and makes a difference, so "don't write" to Bloomburg is stupid. If you get flooded with mails about the same thing, some time or another you're gonna read it.
Maybe it would be more effective in a newspaper though.

exactly. i don't live in new york (even though i live an like hour away from it) but i still care about CBGB's. i've never been there and none of my favorite bands have started out there but i don't want to see it shut down. CBGB's is a part of history, and it needs to be preserved. if it were 924 gilman street we were talking about, everyone would want to keep it open.

it's too late now isn't it?

i mean, isn't it moving to Las Vegas because they can't renew the lease?

thats what i heard.

No, you don't understand. My sister WORKS for him. They have interns read SOME of the mail but it never gets to Bloomberg. NONE. Write to a newspaper. THAT'S what he reads. I'm not being mean i'mm being honest.

Newspaper could be a good idea.

If anything, other people would see it and get involved as well.
