CBGB

CBGB is a New York City music club opened in 1973 by Hilly Kristal in Manhattan's East Village. The club was previously a dive bar. The letters CBGB were for Country, BlueGrass, and Blues.

Meeting with Nate Druker and Agent Seeley
Richie Finestra meets Assistant U.S. Attorney Nate Druker and Agent Seeley at the seedy dive bar to discuss the terms of his deal. Richie is dismayed to learn that informing on Corrado Galasso comes with no offer of protection.

Country, Bluegrass, Blues and Other Music For Uplifting Gormandizers.
Richie again meets with Agent Seeley at the biker bar but only offers a benign tip that both Galasso and Tony Del Greco were wearing the same raincoat. After a disappointed Seeley leaves, the bartender, Hilly Kristal, tells Richie he's turning the bar into a live music venue. He shows Richie a scrap of paper with the proposed name: CBGB OMFUG -- Country, Bluegrass, Blues and Other Music For Uplifting Gormandizers.

Trivia

 * Hilly Kristal's original vision for the club was to have country, bluegrass, and blues artists, hence the name CBGB, yet it soon became a famed venue of punk rock and new wave bands like the Ramones, Television, Patti Smith Group, Blondie, and Talking Heads. From the early 1980s onward, CBGB was known for hardcore punk.
