I love Nashville

From the Nashville Scene:

Last Thursday, though, something rare happened over at Family Wash in East Nashville. Some folks, baited by beer and live jazz, participated in American civic life—together. That's right, at 8 p.m. a few dozen youngish Nashvillians set aside their well-tested cynicism, and instead gathered around to watch the season's first presidential debate. It was Bush vs. Kerry, round one, except with a twist: at the Wash, the back-and-forth was accompanied by a jazz combo that tailored its music to the rhetorical ebbs and flows (or flubs) of the debate.
