- catalog abstract ""The Bitter End first opened its doors in 1961 under the auspices of original owner Fred Weintraub and almost immediately gained renown for its legendary Tuesday nights, where new singer-songwriters performed against the famous unadorned red brick backdrop, now known as "America's stage." Colby became the club's manager in 1968, and since 1974 he has been its owner. In that time, Colby has transformed a small coffee-house into one of the premier entertainment hubs in the country, piloting his basement bistro through every contemporary musical, social, and cultural wave in America. Now the oldest rock venue in the country (and still going strong), the Bitter End records and promotes its own acts and was granted landmark status in 1992.". "The Bitter End offers not only detailed anecdotes about the performances and backstage antics that garnered the club its legendary status but also never-before-told stories about the ups-and-downs of the great and sometimes tragic artists with whom Colby formed friendships, including Bob Dylan, Tim Hardin, Phil Ochs, Shel Silverstein, Cass Elliot, Harry Chapin, Linda Ronstadt, and Andy Kaufman. The book also documents the Bitter End's involvement with the terrible blacklisting of the early 1960s, the Hell's Angels, the Mafia, and the continuously evolving Village scene and its artistic output."--BOOK JACKET.".
