If that's the case, they need to change the name of the series. That’s very strange about the lack of/prohibition against dancing. If that’s the case, they need to change the name of the series.

Jill Sobule opened the show, and was awesome. John Doe & The Sadies did their country thing, and as a special bonus, Exene was there and got up for a couple of tunes with John. Sounds like Thursday was a good night for music all over L.A.

There were three guys who were standing and sort of swaying in place, and the cops came over and stopped them. Stopped them and made them sit down! Having once received a bleeding wound back in the punk-rock 1980s courtesy of Santa Monica's finest, I was not about to challenge the boys in blue. Along with the rest of the crowd, I remained seated until Dave and the girls came back for the encore of "4th of July." At that point, I don't think anybody could sit quietly.
