L.A. Scoop

Hello, Rocker Nation! Paul Picasso, who used to manage the Mau
Mau's and I had Breakfast at Denny's in a booth across the room
from Rodney from KROQ. Two days a week. We have a Grand Slam with
Grits and Coffee and a carafe of Orange Juice. This week however
it was so beautiful that we put the top down in his car and drove
Downtown to score some art on Santee street. We bought matching
Grills and then I had a hard time finding a Bag to match our faux
mouthpiece.You see Doo Dah is Sunday and I have the dress and the
crown now I have the Grill and the bag that match just for kicks!
I visited Hollywood Book ad Poster and ended
up going with Eric Caiden to see The Strawberry Alarm Clock. The
show went great I saw James Trussart guitar maker to the stars,
Danny and Linda , My rockabilly pals, Scott Micheal's from Dearly
Departed Tours. Xavier my old bartender from the Cat and Fiddle
and the Stars for me, The Electric Prunes who have not played in
LA in 40 years. It was like they had been in a time machine. The
Lead singer was handsome like crazy and in his 60's. They had a
surly Guns and Roses flavor. I had to much t dream last night was
one of my favorite songs at 13 in the Philippines at Teen Club!
Then again, so was Incense and Peppermints.
5 more cents in the Jukebox.Then I would Play Purple Haze and
scare the white kids on base.

and I did the rounds check out her blogs she is really funny and
has a great sense of humor. We hit The Farmers Market, Dupars, Tom
Begins,Molly Malone's, and the Cat and Fiddle in search of comfort
food and drink. Cat and Fiddle won with Kim Gardner's favorite
Mulled wine Yum Yum Yum and a bottle of rum.
Club Fluffer is throwing Jane Cantillion's

I went to the movies with my friend Frank
DeMasmarais ( the producer of The Knights of the Templar) to the

something she's got a magic feel.
