First it was CBGB's, then Glam Slam and now the Copacabana. They say deaths happen in three's, so this is just another one into the body bag. The historic Copacabana club in New York is closing it doors. Not because of financial problems, but because the building was condemed to make room for another subway line. The club is where Frank Sinatra got his start in the 40's and was thrust into the spot light again in the 70's by a Barry Manilow song of the same name. The owner has said they are just "moving" and that they will re-open for business. I really don't feel when a venue like that moves, that they can ever recapture what once was. Kind of like the idea of CBGB's moving to Las Vegas, uhm, yeah, no thank you.
