From David Rothstein - Music Inn Owner 1970 -1979

Dave Rothstein 1973


"Music Inn was the last outpost of the counter-culture, which had evolved as a result of the groundbreaking evolution of Jazz as the first integrated music genre that ultimately paved the way for Rock 'n Roll."


Music Inn "was a real wellspring of counterculture, with everything about that that people love and hate, including the town fathers and all of our parents....Tanglewood was kind of the establishment; Music Inn was the renegade concert venue. Everybody's parents worried about what went on here. They would have probably been disappointed to find out how innocent it all was."
 ~ Nancy Fitzpatrick to Seth Rogovoy in 1995.
