Photo Exhibit: One Last Look At CBGB’s
The Guardian insists: ‘315 Bowery, in downtown Manhattan, is better known as the former site of CBGBs, aka The Birthplace of Punk – the famous dive bar that started a worldwide countercultural phenomenon. No place in Manhattan is missed and mythologized as much, and its mention is enough to spur gnarly old-timers, as well as hipster upstarts, into relating anarchic anecdotes. This was where Ramones played their first gig, where Patti Smith made her name and where Television, Blondie, and Talking Heads took off.
