From a CUNY student project page on Brooklyn Heights: “Montague Street was also a place for musicians where live music made Brooklyn Heights a destination for those seeking lively nightlife. Bob Dylan in his song “Tangled up in Blue” sings of the street’s lively cafes and air of revolution:”
“I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air”
– “Tangled Up In Blue” – Blood On The Tracks (1975)
