So, CBGBs New York finally closed this weekend after that long long running story over the legendary club's ongoing dispute with its landlords over rent levels. As previously reported, Debbie Harry was among the artists who played during the last weekend. Accompanied by fellow Blondie member Chris Stein, she reportedly performed an acoustic version of The Ramones track 'I Want To Be Your Boyfriend' before performing 'Tide Is High'. She told the crowd at the gig: "This is a little weird, you know, but anything for old CB's. What are we going to do now? Where are we going to go?" The answer to that question is Las Vegas, where CBGB owner Hilly Kristal plans to set up a replica venue.
