You'll love this quote we found on a web blog: "DC is a great music town, if you forget about the 'relevancy' and 'next big thing' and paying $50 to see some flock-of-haircuts kids rehashing The Who or The Velvet Underground, and go into a little tiny funky neighborhood bar like JV's Restaurant and see some of the best musicians in the world like Billy Hancock's band with Steve Wolf on bass, Dave Chappell on guitar, Bruce Swaim on sax and Barry Hart on drums on a Tuesday night, with no cover, cheap beer and a bunch of redneckish locals hanging around the place. That's real rock & roll."
