Thread: CBGB

Young, punkish, having backpacked to New York previously and slept on
the floor of CBGB’s on the Bowery and fed myself on cheese and wine by attending gallery openings, ...

What's exactly CBGB?

Country, Blue Grass & Blues (NYC bar whose name came from music originally booked there)

Thank you for the answer and for the useful link! I'll try it next time.

It's also somewhat of a legendary club. Punk music was huge there in the 80's, I believe, so; many people know it for that. I've been there a few times when I was in Manhattan.

CBGB, a dive. Ramones and Blondie started there.
Bathrooms smell like puke, Heroin addicts
no longer exists

Cock roaches on the walls,
Crabs crawling on my balls.
I LOVE LIVING IN THE CITY

Fear, Lee Ving

Didn't the owner sell CBGB to some commercial development group?
