When I think of the most memorable nights in my own career, few match the week of shows we did there in 1975. As a musician, as a citizen, and as one who loves New York City, I truly hope that a solution can be found that allows the Bottom Line and Allan and Stanley to continue their important, valuable work for many years to come." Bruce Springsteen, 10/20/03 Fund-Raising Drive to Save The Bottom Line Note from SaveTheBottomLine.com: a fund has been set up to accept donations to help save The Bottom Line from extinction. Please read the following message dated 10/27/03: PLEASE DONATE NOW! THE CLOCK IS TICKING! The Bottom Line's fight is not yet over. As you may have heard, Bruce Springsteen and Mel Karmazin made significant contributions, along with Sirius Satellite Radio, to help save the club. Unfortunately, The Bottom Line needs more money to negotiate with NYU and secure a new lease. It is a dire situation and to add insult to injury, NYU is asking for a 250% rent increase and demanding costly renovations. The Bottom Line has only managed to raise one third of the money it needs. It is imperative to get this money for The Bottom Line's survival.
