Absolutely adore would be closer to the truth. :) I'm a huge fan of early hardcore, and the 'Flag is among my favorites. Unfortunately they broke up when I was 5, so I never got to see them in those days. There's been a few reunion-fish things over the years (and actually two competing ones going on now) but none of it will have the same magic of any lineup of Flag in the '80's.
I'm seriously jealous of your friends! DC had one of the best hardcore scenes in the States.
Yeah, my area in Virginia Beach would luck out sometimes, small night clubs along the waterfront would book Jason & the Scorchers (their opening act was REM, J&S was too hard to classify on radio so they never really hit it very big) and Pat Benitar (I think she's from Richmond, Virginia) would perform as well.
