Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 The New York Daily News is reporting that after a long and nasty rent fight, the owner of the legendary rock club CBGB agreed yesterday to move out of its grungy East Village site next year. " I guess money talks. That's the name of the game, " said Hilly Kristal, who opened the dank punk mecca in 1973. " We tried our best. " CBGB, which gave bands like the RAMONES and TALKING HEADS a start, will leave its home on the Bowery next Halloween. Kristal is hoping to move the club to a new spot on the lower East Side and has looked at several spaces. But he also is considering opening a namesake joint in Las Vegas and is negotiating with deep-pocketed partners. " I'm trying to stay in New York, but New York is expensive, " Kristal said. The Bowery Residents' Committee, a nonprofit homeless-support group, owns the building housing CBGB and has long maintained that Kristal was paying far too little rent. " [We] can now concentrate on helping the needy and homeless of New York City " said Executive Director Muzzy Rosenblatt. Being a pacifist between wars is as easy as being a vegetarian between meals.
