TOP 5 FOR TUESDAY, MAY 29
1. Chuck Brown Viewing At Howard Theatre
Give your respects to the Godfather of Go-Go. 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., all ages, please make a donation to the Chuck Brown Foundation
2. The Dandy Warhols At 9:30
Hacks or originators, it doesn't matter. Courtney Taylor-Taylor has a well-tuned pop ear, an appreciation for David Bowie and, as viewers of "Dig!" know, not an idiot. His tunes hold up and while the new stuff isn't as ambitious as their monumental concept album "Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia," the new laid-back stuff sounds a little more stripped down, older, more mature. 7 p.m., all ages, $25
3. Colin L. Powell And Robert Siegel At Sixth And I
Any other day this week, this discussion would have been our No. 1 pick. 7 p.m., all ages, sold out
4. Walk The Labyrinth At National Cathedral
The last Tuesday of each month the National Cathedral allows the public to quietly walk through its labyrinth, attend a Centering Prayer gathering, receive laying on of hands for healing and listen to harp and Native American flute music. 6 p.m., all ages, no cover
5. "The Kid With A Bike" At West End Cinema
It's too hot to be outside. Go see the winner of this year's Grand Jury Prize of the Cannes Film Festival. 4 p.m., 7:30 p.m., 9:30 p.m., all ages, $7 to $11
