MARK JUDGE: The Mysticism of the 1980s: Why we’re losing our minds.
I love his reminiscences of DC in that era, as I too hung out at Kramerbooks and the 9:30 Club. In fact, I saw The Rainmakers double-billed with Steve Earle (on his “Guitar Town” tour) for five bucks there in 1986. Unbeknownst to me at the time, Mickey Kaus was there too.
