When Anthony Ray first recorded Posse on Broadway, Dick’s Drive-In had *only* been on the street for 35 years. Sunday night, Sir Mix — a few Deluxe, fries and tartars later — was part of a day of music and celebration to mark the drive-in and cultural landmark’s 60 years of business on the central Capitol Hill strip. Sunday morning, CHS saw Sir Mix-a-Lot having a chat with Dick’s co-founder Dick Spady before Spady launched into a burger — the Dick’s cheeseburger, if you’re wondering — and the day’s performances (Recess Monkey, Sammy Witness & The Reassignment, Radio Raheem, Tilson XOXO, Don’t Talk to the Cops and Motopony filled out the locally oriented bill) and beer garden opened.
