This was a historic venue. It should not be lost to history, rather, it deserves to be honored and remembered forever. I saw more than a few artists there, and have many fond memories. I think a plaque is the very least the city could do to preserve the historical importance of The Bottom Line.

It has good memories for my friend. We must remember and sustain the arts, in New York and everywhere.

I saw Debbie Harry and the Jazz Passengers, Uncle Floyd, Lou Reed and many others there I wept when it closed. It deserved a memorial plaque.

Allen was one of the kindest people I ever met. I bought two photos that they had displayed there -- Springsteen and Tom Waits & Bette Midler. When I got to my apartment I left them in the cab. So I turned around and went back to buy two more. Allen asked me why I was back and I told him -- and he gave me two replacements -- and wouldn't take any money for them. I was a kid and obviously didn't have a lot -- never forgot. Let's honor Allen and this amazing club.

The Bottom Line was a unique venue, a real club, without the folksiness of The Bitter End, or the crowd crushing of the Fillmore . The most popular music artists of the 70s and 80s loved playing there, and those of us lucky to go, loved being there.

I spent many evenings at The Bottom Line listening to music you wouldn't hear anywhere else. It was truly a one of a kind experience and a big part of my history.

The bottom line is that The Bottom Line should be commemorated!

When I lived back East I attended the club 96 times. It was the best music venue there ever was - nothing else comes close!

The Bottom Line should be recognized for its excellence as a performing arts venue. A simple search of artists who performed there is suggested. As a performer who played there numerous times myself, I can attest to the pride I have in being amongst that number. Ask anyone who did, and whose professional lives were changed there.
