Praise for this book
Like a fly on the Bitter End's famous red-brick wall, Paul Colby has seen it all through six decades in the entertainment business. Pull up a stool and listen as he spins tale after revealing tale of the many musicians and comics who launched their careers at his landmark Greenwich Village nightspot.--Ken Schlager, Editorial Director at Billboard.com
Paul Colby... shares enough behind-the-scenes anecdotes to satisfy nostalgic and aficionado alike.-- "MOJO"
You'll meet them all in the pages of The Bitter End: Paxton, Gibson-Cap, McGuinn, the Mitchell Trio, and countless others who made moving and innovative music.-- "Discoveries"
Complete with period illustrations, the club's story and that of the Village from its prime up to the present is told from the chatty and thoroughly engrossing perspective on manager (and, later, proprietor) Paul Colby, who formed genuine friendships with many of the artists, famous and obscure.-- "Record Collector, (Uk)"
The dust cover of this book bears the legend, Hanging Out At America's Nightclub and this book boils down to Colby's recollection of precisely that, allied to third party recollections, general comments and music business insights.-- "Folkwax"
