I do. It feels so good to be back here.
I’m back in Los Angeles to attend the Radio & Records Talk Radio Seminar, which runs Thursday through Saturday, but took the opportunity to visit friends and enjoy my old hometown.
I know California is having massive money woes. The situation is worse there than it is in Florida, where I’ve been living for the past five years. I believe California will be the first state to move forward on an idea I’ve been pushing (so to speak) for a while now– legalizing marijuana and taxing the hell out of it. You want to generate revenue Arnold? There’s somewhere to start!
But I digress. Today was the type of day I daydream about when I’m longing for the good old days… weather-wise, anyway. Perfect mid-70s temp, crystal clear blue skies. And driving around my old stomping grounds, I went on part one of the Nicole’s former homes tour. Today, it was the driving by of my first home in Laurel Canyon, and my last home before leaving LA in Culver City. I’m still sore from punching myself for ever selling it.
Tonight, I’m going to take in some Hollywood treats. My old friend Rami Jaffee (keyboardist extraordinaire, best known for The Wallflowers) has resuscitated the Tuesday night jam sessions at the Kibitz Room at Canters Deli. The music starts at 10pm. I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow…
