He changed the name, briefly, to Vinyl, but it was the Pony for some time and I do believe it made money under Nasar, at least for a time. They were booking different acts than were booked when Butch and Jack owned it; saw Soul Asylum, the Ramones, Courtney Love, etc. there, and those were all big shows. It was during that period that they started doing the outdoor shows after Mrs. Jay's had closed and they took over that area. I think it was called the "Stone Pony Big Top," at one point.
