Lisa- I understand what you're saying.  On the other hand, NYC is  becoming a 
gentrified sea of Starbuck's, CVS's, etc. It isn't only CBGB's  itself, which 
is a legendary place, it's the idea of keeping the uniqueness and  
originality in this city, which is slowly going the way of high rents and bland  upscale 
boutiques and corporate stores.  Another pair of designer shoes,  anyone? I 
understand about the shopping bag with the CBGB's logo being a little  bit 
creepy or whatever, but the only way for CB's to generate funds to help them  in 
their legal fight is to sell stuff.  I bought a CBGB's shirt and  sweartshirt 
on their web site. Tommy Lee may be a jerk, but if he wants to  help, why not?  
NYC used to be a place where young artists of every genre  could come, get a 
cheap apartment, explore the city and their art relatively  cheaply.  Now 
they're lucky if they can get a share with three other  people. I realize that in 
life everything must change, but it's hard to sit  still and watch your city 
mutate into blandness.  xxo-  Seena
