The old Marquee in London suddenly vanished to be replaced by a vast pub selling cheap beer with hardly a squeek from the locals. The Who virtually lived there and 1000's of bands played, then one day it's a building site. So, kick up a rumpus, and make sure CBGB's stays. Hell, it's part of the tourist trail these days - surely it qualifies as a national monument or something? Alice Donut? Never 100% convinced, but enjoyed their live chaotic circus. And I bought a CBGB's T-shirt on Portobello Road. (Though it was about 15 years ago from a New Yorker of Chinese descent for the equiv of $4 because she wanted to leave the UK, so that might just push it from a "don't" to a "do") Anyway, good luck CBGB's.
