It felt like this bizarre glitch in the matrix, whereby I suddenly stumbled back 50 years and was hangin' out with the bad crowd from, like, Rydell High. It was awesomely entertaining - fishnets, pompadours, and pincurls. Oh, and lots of tattoos (guys & gals). To hear a pretty authentic live band crank out songs like "Get Rhythm" (Johnny Cash), "Peggy Sue" (Buddy Holly), and "That's All Right" [...]
