Normally, the shuttle from McLean Station to Wolf Trap only takes 15 to 20 minutes. On a recent trip to The Filene Center, it took about 45; traffic was backed out of the park all the way onto the freeway. On the way back, it was filled to capacity, including standing passengers. (Pro tip: try to get to the shuttle a little if you want to make sure you get a seat.)

The draw was Diana Ross, one of the most successful singers in the history of popular music.

After a handful of songs, Jeff Tweedy recently told the sold-out crowd at The Atlantis, “Something about the shape of this room makes me shyer than I’ve become. When I first played on this type of stage in this town I got to hide behind a pole a lot of the night opening up for the Dead Milkmen.”

Tweedy, principal songwriter for Wilco, and his former band, Uncle Tupelo had played the old 9:30 Club that The Atlantis was modeled after a number of times — a point that he joked about as he asked for a sheet of all the times he’d been to the old venue.
