washington consists of big polished mercedes and back alleys of rats. i slip the new JBC single into the dance mix before the set and only the band notices! laurence is overheard using the pickup line "its your loss, not mine". JBC fans from new jersey fill a hotel bathtub with booze and proceed to feed them to the band. for a group one would image to be total alcoholics, the JBC were surprisingly sober, i found out. realistically, with only a few hours to sleep each night, it doesnt make sense to drink heavily. BUT! the shades *are* for real. the JBC always leave the hotel in the morning wearing sunglasses as a hangover deterrent.
