2) John Brown's Body which would sorta indicate Harpers Ferry 'cuz that'd probably be the only place where people would get the reference.

Uh huh.

It just so happens that:
John Brown's Body is a progressive reggae band from Boston, MA and Ithaca, NY

I've heard of The Stone Pony, but I don't remember in what context. Since it's obviously a performing venue, I will guess Austin, Texas, because that city seems to have more music venues per capita than anyplace else I know.

Unless you're using an evil distractor, this would have to be in Asbury Park, New Jersey

THE Vanilla Fudge in a roadhouse?? after what sounds like a Boss tribute band (of which I think I may have heard. Not Le Bistro à jo-jo's, that's for sure. I will go with somewhere on the Jersey Shore vs. somewhere on Logn Island. or maybe simply, Route 22 Union, New Jersey, where money talks and nobody walks.

This was the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, made famous by Bruce Springsteen.
I underestimated the difficulty level, thinking it was a pop culture item that nearly everyone here would recognize. Hence it was at the bottom (level 1) of the unrandomized stack.
However, it was evident that only some people recognized it and it was something with few other clues and, as a result, those who did not recognize the name were lost.

Ten got Asbury Park NJ meaning it was worth three points. Three more managed NJ despite missing the Bruce reference. Finally, three got JJC points.

JJC points to:
Saucy for responding with an MM and then as Saucy, as if the MM would be as unrecognizable as some of Mini's.
Marley for the lost-somewhere-in-LS reference. I think my next edition should be obscure and with song lyrics as the only real clues. :twisted:
Clem for going elsewhere based on "John Browns Body" then finding the band was partly from Ithaca (!) Did you know John Brown was buried in upstate NY near Lake Placid?

Three points to:
AJ
BobJ
christie1111
Estonut
jarnon
Marley (+1 for a total of 4)
mcd1400de
melly
ShamelessWeasel
Uly

One point to:
