Ad Break: Historic Hollywood Hills Appt
.jpg)
1bed, 1 bath includes the aforementioned private parking garage (remote door opener). Washer/Dryer, hardwood floors and terrace.
This is the apartment that Elliot Gould's character lived in in Robert Altman's 'The Long Goodbye'. A movie worth seeing if you're not familiar with it. Here is the brilliant intro where he tries to feed his cat (no joke):
Also featured in Kenneth Branagh's film 'Dead Again'. Author Michael Connelly lived and wrote there. David Copperfield lived up there for several years in the 80's while performing at the near-by Magic Castle.
The location is great. Quiet, no freeway noise, beautiful views yet a short walk to Hollywood and Highland and the subway. And a shorter walk to the Hollywood Bowl.

Black Cab - Cherry Bar (1/12/13) & Howler (29/11/14) What a difference a year makes!
Encore: Ghost Rider
A year ago, their fourth gig in three days. A free gig on a Sunday night at Cherry. I counted twenty three people in the audience.
Contrast with Sunday's album launch at Howler and boy am I regretting not taping that show now

Greil Marcus: Lipstick Traces - A Secret History of the Twentieth Century (PDF)
This is no mere search for cultural antecedents. Instead, what Marcus so brilliantly shows is that various kinds of angry, absolute demands—demands on society, art, and all the governing structures of everyday life—seem to be coded in phrases, images, and actions passed on invisibly, but inevitably, by people quite unaware of each other. Marcus lets us hear strange yet familiar voices: of such heretics as the Brethren of the Free Spirit in medieval Europe and the Ranters in seventeenth-century England; the dadaists in Zurich in 1916 and Berlin in 1918, wearing death masks, chanting glossolalia; one Michel Mourre, who in 1950 took over Easter Mass at Notre-Dame to proclaim the death of God; the Lettrist International and the Situationist International, small groups of Paris—based artists and writers surrounding Guy Debord, who produced blank-screen films, prophetic graffiti, and perhaps the most provocative social criticism of the 1950s and ’60s; the rioting students and workers of May ’68, scrawling cryptic slogans on city walls and bringing France to a halt; the Sex Pistols in London, recording the savage “Anarchy in the U.K.” and “God Save the Queen.”
Although the Sex Pistols shape the beginning and the end of the story, Lipstick Traces is not a book about music; it is about a common voice, discovered and transmitted in many forms. Working from scores of previously unexamined and untranslated essays, manifestos, and filmscripts, from old photographs, dada sound poetry, punk songs, collages, and classic texts from Marx to Henri Lefebvre, Marcus takes us deep behind the acknowledged events of our era, into a hidden tradition of moments that would seem imaginary except for the fact that they are real: a tradition of shared utopias, solitary refusals, impossible demands, and unexplained disappearances. Written with grace and force, humor and an insistent sense of tragedy and danger, Lipstick Traces tells a story as disruptive and compelling as the century itself.
