rip "Country, Blue Grass & Blues"

New York's CBGB's closing after 33 years
By Larry McShane, Associated Press Writer | October 9, 2006

"Kristal plans to move the club far from its roots with a new CBGB's in Las Vegas. The owner plans to strip the current club down to the bare walls, bringing as much of it to Nevada as possible."

I'm not sure how I feel about the new locale. Somehow it seems like the contents should be housed in the Smithsonian or the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, not a Vegas casino.

I hope the club isn't franchised.
