gothamist.com/2015/12/21/cbgb_newark_restaurant.phpYou know what? I'm not even upset about this kinda stuff anymore. I lamented the fact it shut down in 2006, but really it wasn't what it was in its heyday and many of those artists are still around but it's not the 70s anymore, much as I hate to admit

It's a bummer, but I can't even be properly mad. Unfortunately, punk just isn't what it was during it's heyday, and this is a part of that.

It should be like Jack Rabbit Slim's in Pulp Fiction where the waiting staff impersonate music artists like Debbie Harry and the Ramones.

I would hope if they're trying to keep in the spirit, they would play music by all of the artists, not just the most popular and famous. Then it'd be like radio

Any Ramones themed waiters wouldn't feel authentic without them bickering and fist-fighting amongst themselves while trying to figure out who's section the table's in.

I have a poster of Joey Ramone in the CBGBs bathroom. It'd never pass inspection

Are they going to play Country, Bluegrass and Blues?

I saw this headline yesterday and I read it as turning the original CBGB's into a Newark Airport themed restaurant. Needless to say, I was very confused.

An airport...why?
Is New Jersey actually Scotland in the 1970's when people had actual Sunday day outs going to the f***ing airport? (because airport bars were the only places that served booze on a Sunday.)

(because airport bars were the only places that served booze on a Sunday.) No we can drink on Sundays. We can't buy hardware and other non essentials due to blue laws in one county but booze and drinking is fine.

It's a bummer, but I can't even be properly mad. Unfortunately, punk just isn't what it was during it's heyday, and this is a part of that. But what is even here to be angry about? CBGB's was a product of its time. We live in an era where digital distribution allows everyone to use punk's "do it yourself" spirit, and you can access all of the weirdest and most original music possible with the click of a few buttons.

You're not wrong, and intellectually, I know that. There's just a gut feeling in me that CBGB's being some "kitsch" airport restaurant is awful. Which is stupid, sure, but it's there.

Newark is more hardcore than the Bowery could ever hope to be! It should be like Jack Rabbit Slim's in Pulp Fiction where the waiting staff impersonate music artists like Debbie Harry and the Ramones. Bathrooms will be indicated as "Wayne Countys" and "Jayne Countys".

This wouldn't have happened in the 70s-this certainly isn't in the punk spirit-it's corporate sellout bullshit

CBGB's was a legendary punk club in NYC where The Raomones, Patti Smith, Talking Heads and pretty much every else from the 70's New York punk scene started.
