in questo caso direi \"non siamo mica a un festival rock\"
i lonely planet boy fanno rock duro, non musica country, e il CBGB è stato (certo, tra le altre cose) una delle culle del punk!

cara sara,
purtroppo in italia da questo punto di vista abbiamo fatto un po\' pena... :)
e poi, come dice shezan, sicuro che non suonerebbe buffo il nome di un locale italiano in un contesto tutto americano?
l\'unica alternativa che mi viene in mente, rispetto a festival rock, è spostarsi dal luogo ai musicisti - cioè, potresti dire qualcosa come: \'credi forse di essere Sid Vicious?\' (oddio, dipende da che strumento suona il tuo personaggio - dovresti scegliere lo strumentista corrispondente, dei ramones per esempio, visto che il tuo autore ti parla dei ramones - i nomi li trovi facilmente in rete)
hth, ciao, e buon weekend

Comment: "buona idea quella di usare il nome di un musicista. Il contesto non è strettamente americano (è un'opera teatrale ambientata in un mondo fantastico); credo che questa soluzione sia la migliore. grazie"

Musica Country BlueGrass - explanation
I don't know if you can translate in Italian the term.
Ir owuld mean "Musica Country BlueGrass" originating from the West VA/Kentucky area
From the URL: http://www.cbgb.com/history1.htm
The question most often asked of me is, "What does CBGB stand for?"
I reply, "It stands for the kind of music I intended to have, but not the
kind that we became famous for: COUNTRY BLUEGRASS BLUES."

keep in mind that the person is asking \"What do you think\" not *Where do you think**

I do not think that you can interpret or translate properly Country Music BlueGrass. BlueGrass is like a Trademark and it was coined because it came from states where the grass had a bluish color to it. Hence the name BlueGrass Music.
La casa della musica country would be a general statement for country music which can be from any of the southern or northwestern states of US and which varies in tone form area to area

Hi Shezan...Since you are great at making statements like\" great explanation as usual but this time is a little out of focus \" and since you are the expert in Blue Grass Country Music (I lived in Georgia and Kentucky (the Blue Grass State)\" tell me at least where am I out of \"FOCUS\" ehhh..!!

: great explanation as usual but this time is a little out of focus. Michael don't get me wrong, but in this case it's just the name of a club. No need to explain the origin of the term.

CBGB's
CBGB's
Il CBGB's è un locale storico di New York, dove si sono fatti le ossa mostri sacri come Patti Smith e i Talking Heads. Devi assolutamente lasciarlo così. Tra l'altro gli stessi Talking Heads lo citano in un loro brano del 1979, "Life during wartime" (vedi link).

il bluegrass non c\'entra nulla, o meglio il tizio gli dice pensi di essere al CBGB x\' suona un pezzo dei NYD, coetanei di Ramones, Patti SMith, Heads, Mink De Ville e altri che si sono fatti le ossa su quel palco a cavallo tra \'70 e \'80.
