On Friday night, I went to Lincoln's Road House to see Dear Marsha play its last gig (the frontwomen are moving away, and the band will be no more).

Sure enough, the original blues brother soon walked in , surrounded by owner Jim Bob's bouncer-like buddies. He sang lead on a modified version of "Flip, Flop and Fly," a Blues Brothers classic and then took off -- most likely to get some shut eye before his Crystal Head Vodka PR apparances, which included a vodka-bottle signing at Applejack Liquors on Saturday.
