CBGB’s Saved for Now
Proving that the Man can’t always squash the punks, a civil court in NY ruled that legendary Bowery club CBGB’s can’t be evicted. While that’s good news for a space legendary for helping lay the groundwork for the ’70s punk scene, my favorite part of this CNN report is the subhead, which states the judge ruled the club “shouldn’t be punished for not noticing it owed its landlords money.” If only that were the case for broke punks everywhere, eh?
