Save CBGB's?

I went to the concert in Washington Square Park yesterday. 800 people showed up to support the club. A bunch of bands played including Blondie and Public Enemy. (Click on the links to see the excellent coverage from the Brooklyn Vegan blog.) I ended up getting into the backstage area and was standing close to Debbie Harry at one point as well as Chris and Tina from the Talking Heads.

I also got to chat with Chuck D and Prof. Griff from PE. I used to work with those guys. Very awesome to see them. Even though I met Flav before I didn't bother saying hello. He was swamped with people around him. He attracts attention wherever he goes.

Fight the power. More on the concert here.
