CBGB lives! (in Savannah)

[via Facebook]

The CBGB biopic starring Alan Rickman as Hilly Kristal is filming in Savannah, Ga., both on Broughton Street (on Paula Deen's block!) where we think the bar's exterior above was created... and in a studio ... the crew replicated the inside of the bar in Savannah's Meddin Studios, where all the interior shots will take place...

    It's not Ke$ha - they imported LES Jewels for verisimilitude.

    Now that you mention it, I think I've seen Ke$ha at Camp Crust outside St Marks Church. It's all starting to make sense!

    The "throne" was elevated about three bricks off the floor. Went there for the last show...The Bush Tetras, as I've been informed by my friend Scottie, who seems to have a better recollection of that night.
