The Ten Best Things To Do This Weekend in St. Louis: March 11 to 13

Janis Ian is at Old Rock House tonight.

Plenty to do this weekend in the Lou, what with the Legends of Hip-Hop Tour featuring Salt-n-Pepa and the return of the Fleshtones (albeit sans Bunnygrunt). Right here at the RFT's main music page you can find some other recommended shows which appeared in the print edition - and, as always, ten more excellent events right down below.
