MacKaye will speak on Tuesday, May 7, 2013, at 6 p.m. in the Mumford Room of the James Madison Memorial Building, located at 101 Independence Ave. S.E., Washington, D.C.

sounds riveting..

Actually, yes...it does to me. Ian is a smart, funny, kind and worldly person with a brain in his head. Not to mention being one of the most ethical and un-greedy people in the business. I think most people could learn something from him.

I really like those Evens records. Last I checked, he sang, wrote songs and played guitar in that band. As for the other stuff about DC being in his shadow, I think he has made important cultural contributions to the city and if you don't like the guy, then it probably is something more personal than anything else. He only chages 5 bucks for a show. EVIL! He only charged 10 bucks or less for records at a time when record stores were trying to charge $20 for a CD. Nobody says you have to listen to him. But as someone who always did what he believed in and took his career way beyond Minor Threat, I have infinite respect and appreciation for him. He's made the DC music scene far more vibrant, and if you don't think so then just look at the Dischord discography. Pretty damn impressive if you ask me.

DC hardly has a music scene Bearman...Dischord's heyday was nearly 25 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and its not just Ian..his sister handles bands, books Fort Reno etc...

If a DC band wants to make it today they head to Brooklyn.. there is no room in this town

[atomicfront]

I am not a fan of Ian's music.  Did see embrace and fugazi a couple of times in Baltimore and you are right I never paid more than 5 bucks.  And one was an abortion rights benefit.   Saw the Evens for free.  He seems like a good dude.  And the Minor threat stuff isn't bad.  Dischord stuff in general is pretty boring.  I think back in the day all the good DC bands were on Fountain of Youth.  And Dischord was more of a clique than anything to do with talent.
