NYC dive music clubs (endangered species in Manhattan) and Vegas resort properties -two verrrry different business cultures. Probably the biggest hurdle Hilly will have if it ever happens will be to work out a deal he will have enough control over. Vegas deals are made out of $1,000 suits, 40 lawyers, 67 secretaries, mountains of paper and verrry long terms of consideration. They'll roll over Hilly like a pair of two ton dice if he doesn't have decent representation. Then, how does some resort present CB's to the resort vacation crowd? As a show revue? Some kind of Disneyfied sanitary punk rock revue with plenty of sprayed on beer redolence and faux-grunge outfits for the staff? How will it ever book and present unheard of and barely heard of pay-to-play bands on the panel truck touring circuit -it won't of course.
I'd like the presidential suite at CB's.
I want a Crystal ammenity in my room upon check in.
I want front row seats, the $450 ones, to the Plasmatics tribute band.
Get a souvenier snap of me in front of the display case showing facsimile samples of all the drugs ever brought through the front door on the Bowery.
Maybe Hilly should just retire on the million dollars of CB's t-shirts that sell each year and call it an epoch!
