I spent the week in Los Angeles and I wish that the title for this post was entirely hyperbolic, but sadly, portions of LA are a hellscape and even when you are not in those portions, the place is still dingy and dull and worn out.  This post provides a nice perspective.  And this song, heard every ten minutes or so when I moved there in the mid-80’s, is now never, ever heard.  I was there calling on what few clients I have left, so I was talking and learning.  There are a couple of lessons from the visit that need recording.
