Original venue?

Couple of questions. First, how can it be "one of Nashville's original venues for live music" when it opened in 1971? Surely a city of Nashville's history must have had live music well before then. Secondly, who claims that it was the inspiration for Piano Man? The general consensus seems to be that it was inspired by his days in LA. Can anyone provide citations for either of these claims?

As nobody's defended these statements I've removed them. If anyone would like to reinsert them, please could you find some sources to support them. Thanks. Iain99 08:36, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There were, certainly, clubs in Nashville before the Exit/In. However, none have survived as it has. Music City in 1970 was really not a place where one could easliy go out and find music being creatively performed and artists respected. Fun quote: Robert Altman, on having just enjoyed Sam Bush and the New Grass Revival at the Exit/In, "That's the best jazz I've heard in a long time." (prior to the filming of the movie "Nashville")

Billy Joel played there in January of 1974; Piano Man was already in his repertoire. Brughr 21:01, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

The last sentence is incorrect: "In February 2021, the property on Elliston Place where the nightspot sits was sold to a hotel developer, which intends to demolish it in favor of new construction, due to its highly desirable location near VU and Nashville's business district and tourist attractions."

See the historical data at the Davidson County Property Assessor's website, and you will see that the property has not changed hands since 2009.
