Given that there's a new quiz asking us to find out which 70s glam icon you are (I'm David Johansen of the New York Dolls), it's time to think about the state of legendary punk club CBGBs.
CBGBs is in deep debt to its landlord. According to CBGB owner Hilly Kristal in a Spin magazine interview, CBGB and homeless nonprofit the Bowery Residents' Committee are fighting over big bucks: "They've tangled in court over $300,000 in back rent (which Kristal agreed to pay in installments in 2001), unbilled rent increases amounting to $85,000."
