BOC: Reference to BOC in Edinburgh was 'Police Academy' movie?

[Zeitgeist]

For most of my teenage clubbing years there was a nightclub in Edinburgh
called the Blue Oyster Club (in Rose Street Lane for those Edinburgh
resident listees).

Godawful place with no redeeming features bar that one redeeming teenage
necessity - the opposite gender, in large, available, quantities.

If that wasn't your bag, you went to Fire Island, where they used to play
Joan Crawford, on request on a Friday Night.
