All I hear of him is random stuff at the bar. I call him Johnny DC because a friend of mine came up with the moniker. I've seen him everywhere.

Legend has it that he's the son of a very wealthy publisher. No lie.

Is that just your name for him or am I missing some tid bit of DC hipster lore?

I think the term you were looking for is DC Johnny.

Rhett hopes he does not die before he gets old, because he is old already! Surely that is point of the song? Remember when rock and roll used to be rebellious and could turn good kids bad? No? Rhett does.

Huh?

Huh? What?

It's DC Johnny, not Johnny DC.

C'mon Nighties fans. Back me up on this.

Word. Thirst has got it right.

Errr, when you say it, you always say DC Johnny.

One of us is having a breakdown. I hope it is not me, again.

You are clearly all wrong as my wife agrees with me. Wives are always right.

Your wife fears deportation. Of course she's going to agree with you.

Plus, there's a good chance she's already drunk.

I do not work for the D.O.S.

I did not lead her in the questioning in any way. Allthough she said "oww, you blighter, my thumbs might drop off if you turn the screws any tighter" when first asked.

As for being drunk, its the only think that stops her being aggressive.

I don't think there's many Nighties fans, NKOTBIE.

I'm so confused… Nighties? bar rumors? Publishing fortune?

Who knows what and how do they know it?

I see him less now that I live a few blocks away from U Street, but while living in my last two apartments (one just off U, the other just off 18th), I saw this guy every day. Every single time – crinkled suit, newspaper under the arm, hobbling/shuffling down the street. Even now though, just about every visit to the Red Room, St-Ex, Stetsons, etc., I see him walk in, do a loop around the bar and leave.

That's him alright. Apparently he macks it to the waitresses. When I worked down at Penn and 9th I saw him walking around with two women. He was in an electric blue suit.
