Well,here I am,at 5:33 am,having been up most of the night,feeling all reflective and stuff.I kinda came up with this thought.In every life there comes a time,a defining moment,..and in that moment,you cannot go back to who or what you were.I've been told it's called an epiphany. When I was dropped off that morning,at Hollywood and Vine,I guess thats what I had.My epiphany,and I knew,without a doubt,that this was it.Home. Mecca for any kid who loved music and movies.And,it would change me forever. It was late in 1971 when I took off from my parents place!Headed straight to Hollywood. Within a few months I found a job at the Hollywood Free Press,saw Alice Cooper,and found a place called PJs,which within a very short time was turned into the Starwood Nightclub. That building was to wind up being where I grew up,even celebrating my 21'st B'day there. Anyway,..back to the present for a moment,..
The TV inspired me to create this blog,due to VH1 doing a late late show about LA bands in the 70s.Lol! It started me remembering all the old bands that had come through the Starwood during that time,and a few were shown on the show.I got on the net to see if I could find one of them,the Banshees,but I only found Souxie's band and a band in the 80's with that name.Not my friends,who I remember well. In searching,.I also found a website here,in Blogger.com about the Starwood,but only about the 80's and the Punkers there.That was during it's downfall really.
*****If anyone reads this-I have to go for now,but will return to finish this post in a bit.*****
