I fondly recall seeing an unknown Sonic Youth peel crud off the walls with tiny amps in late 1981 and attending a hardcore matinee there a year later where the kids slammed in a demented square dance to the Meat Puppets. But my favorite CBGB memory is seeing my old friend Ricky's Florida-based band Deloris Telescope (who?) play their best-ever set on borrowed equipment to a dozen unsuspecting patrons in 1991. That's what the place was all about IMHO.

NEW York lost CBGB, but we're gaining a new rock Mecca. Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian is teaming up with club owner Mike Diamond, who started Snitch, Pangaea and Vela, to open a rock venue in Chelsea on Halloween called Retox. Cypress Hill is scheduled to play opening night, and Ian is slated to perform with the band Five for Fighting some time in November.

The famous New York City punk outpost CBGB & OMFUG, where Ramones, Patti Smith, Television, Talking Heads and many others cut their teeth and sullied its notoriously disgusting bathroom, closed in 2006. But now it will get a second life, nearly a decade later as ... an airport restaurant.
The club, which will be rechristened the CBGB L.A.B. (Lounge and Bar) will serve "American fare in a fun environment recalling the legendary music venue," Gothamist reports. The first location will open in New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport at a yet-to-be-revealed date and it will be helmed by chef Harold Moore, who runs the comparatively upscale New York City eatery Commerce.
CBGB L.A.B. will serve everything from $9.00 Disco Fries to a $42.00 Prime Rib, according to a menu posted online by East Orange, New Jersey radio station WFMU. It even features Harold's World Famous Chili on the menu, a nod to club owner Hilly Kristal's chili concoctions. Other items the L.A.B. will offer include crispy chicken paillard, seared togarashi tuna and matzo ball soup; diners can order birthday cake for dessert.

I think since CBGBs itself is selling like $349.95 Swarovski jewelry with their logo on it and like has a restaurant at the Newark Airport, everyone should kind of give up being upset when a big brand has some fun with their legacy
