Last call at CBGB’s?

Hilly Kristal opened CBGB’s in December 1973, envisioning a home on New York City’s Bowery for country music.

And then the punks took over. The Ramones. Blondie. Talking Heads. Television.

They all launched their careers on the cramped stage at Kristal’s low-maintenance club, which became the mid1970s epicenter for a musical revolution and still rocks on three decades later.

But it may be time for the last (slam) dance at the storefront bar. The club’s lease expires Aug. 31. A long-standing rent dispute could persuade the landlord, the Bowery Residents’ Committee, to find a new tenant.
