(TV) Marquee Moon mainstream?

[Russ Van Rooy <russvr@pop.nwnexus.com>]

Okay so I was having dinner at a local chain here in Portland called McMenamins' - good pub fair - and I could hardly believe my ears when I instantly recognized the stacatto strums from the beginning of 'Marquee Moon' , gentley, but persistantly coming from the restaurants' sound system. McMenamins, started by two brothers known for their love of the Grateful Dead, truly an Oregonian kind of place, while certainly not a bastion of red-neckness, is not exactly what I'd call a hipster joint ( like the Cup and Saucer Cafe, a place more likely to be frequented by local musician types, a haunt of Elliott Smith rip). So, has it come to this? Will the mainstream finally recognize the enduring greatness of 'Marquee Moon'; will it indeed become the successor to 'Stairway to Heaven' or even...'Freebird'?
