40cakesSave CBGB's.
For those of you that don't know, in a nutshell...The land that CBGB is built on is owned by NYU and they are raising the rent to 40k per month, which is complete lunacy! Most of the punk rock and rock-n-roll legends we know today came out of CB's. For example: Blondie, The Ramones, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, and many many more. Not to mention the fact that lots of bands locally and all over the world, known and unknown, continue to come to CBGB's and perform.
It would be a shame to let NYU's greed department take that from us now and future generations who happen to care about the roots of NYC punk rock/rock-n-roll. Just click on the link and sign the petition to at least keep CBGB a historical landmark in NYC and save it from becoming another eye sore dormitory high rise.
