If The Dude objects to this post, I will most certainly remove it...
Once upon a time in Greenwich Village, there was a coffee house called The Gaslight Cafe.
If you know Bob Dylan, you undoubtedly know The Gaslight Cafe.
Anyway, in 1961 a man by the name of Clarence Hood bought The Gaslight Cafe and his son, Sam Hood, ran the joint.
According to this story, Clarence sold the Gaslight in 1968 to a guy named Ed Simon after Sam left to open his own club in Florida.
Sam came back, though, and continued to run the club until its close in the early 1970s.
Thus endeth Mrs. Dude's history lesson.
