For not quite 13 years, beginning in 1976, the Lone Star was a haven for Texas-style bad behavior in New York City. It was a raucous, often crowded place, with free-flowing tequila, pretty good barbecue, not a few 10-gallon hats and performers like Willie Nelson, Kinky Friedman, Albert King and Roy Orbison. The Lone Star was never exactly in sync with its upscale neighborhood (Forbes magazine was just down the block) and somehow its noisy, nutty, anarchic spirit was well represented by a 40-foot iguana on the roof.
