The NYPD has closed down the New York City nightclub where Chris Brown and Drake had their now-infamous brawl, the Associated Press reports.

A police spokeswoman said that the W.i.P. club in SoHo was shuttered on Saturday due to code violations, but gave no further details on what those violations were.

At least eight people, including Chris Brown, his bodyguard, and San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker, were injured in the bottle-throwing fight that broke out between Brown's and Drake's entourages early Thursday morning. The club's manager was also arrested on Friday for two outstanding warrants unrelated to the incident.

“Thirteen”

Big Star | 1972

Alex Chilton chose to write about the innocence of young love instead of pent-up frustration for this ballad, which he titled after the age of the protagonists. However, Chilton admitted he was not happy with how the song turned out. "I think the performance of it on the record is bad. Just the singing really is … it's the wrong sort of approach, but at that time I didn't really know how to make the voice sounds in the studio that I wanted to do; it was a year or two later when I figured that out." When Chilton was at the age of 13, he experienced a life-changing occurrence -- the Beatles' landmark appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
