About Los Angeles

Favorite bit? The freedom, baby! Some places, it’s all legal, chicks callin’ shots, no pimp crap. That’s the dream, yeah? But then—bam!—ya hear bout forced gigs, and I’m like, “No way, man, that’s not cool!” Surprised me how deep it goes—layers, baby, layers! Gotta keep it real, tho—brothels ain’t all satin sheets and champagne. Some’s gritty, grimy, real eye-opener. Still, I’d flash my grin, say, “Groovy night, ladies!”—cos Austin’s all about the love, baby! Yeah!

Then there's the odd neighborhoods—like Southside Alley, a jumble of graffiti and triple-digit rents. I hate how its narrow streets, like Elm, twist like a bad memory. But, hell, that’s what gives it character. My fave spot? The rundown cinema at 7th & Vine. It reeks of old popcorn and rebellion. I saw a flick there that reminded me of the raw grit in The Hurt Locker. "No one ever found salvation in a bomb shelter," I muttered. Whatever, it sounded cool.
