As Roomy announced in his “Where Am I?” post earlier, I’m off, leaving the country, splitting the joint. I’m moving to Los Angeles, or Cowboy Town, according to Vic Reeves. I know it’s not fashionable to like L.A, but like it I do, even if I am older than the average building there.
Anyway, yes the music posts may dry up over the coming weeks, but just to show that I care about you, dear Roomyverse reader, here’s the Decemberists and their brilliantly sarcastic tribute to the city – Los Angeles I’m Yours.
I love LA too, but if I can give you one tip, it would be don’t let Franklin play Little League. I am still scarred by the conversation I overheard in my local cafe on the Boardwalk, where a woman was telling another woman proudly that Elton John always came to see her son’s Little League games when he was in town. Was he a relative of someone? inquired the colleague. No, he just enjoyed watching the game, she answered.
Ok, no little league. Whatever that is.
