New York, NY —

Since CBGB’s opened 33 years ago, the rock club on the Bowery has helped launch bands like the Ramones, Blondie and the Talking Heads. CBGBs fought to keep its lease but lost... and now it’s really closing. The final show is tomorrow. WNYC’s Kathleen Horan visited the club in search of what the place is... before it becomes just another part of New York’s past.
