    You know I sit tonight and listen. Back in the 1980's, my best friend and his girlfriend at the time went to see "X" at a theatre across the street from where we worked, a gas station. It was in Santa Barbara California at the Arlington Theatre and I was either 16 or 17. I didn't care for punk, I was a "metalhead" and a mobile deejay playing freestyle/funk. I worked that night as the marquee shined with "X" and the crowds that were in line! Years later I continued deejaying and couldn't stop playing mostly new wave/punk, goth, metal, the privilege of growing up in So Cal with all the wonderful music and cruising LA/Hollywood. I turn 60 this year and still deejay on the internet and I play this great music, but I regret that I didn't buy a ticket to that one concert across the street to see "X." You are awesome and you bring back memories to a simpler place and time with every song I play.....viva "Los Angeles!"

    Memories are gettin' late
    Not erased like tape
    Not replaced with fake
    Drivin' state to altered state
    Holdin' foldin ' maps
    On another pay phone break
    A big black X on a white marquee
    A naked Christmas tree on fire
    In a Cherokee alley
    Silent movie genuflecting dream
    Hangin' off bumpers and
    Scrapin' off tar and leather
    L.A. Riverbed drag strip on acid
    And somethin' about a basement
    Stay awake and don't get taken
    We knew the gutter
    Also the Future
    Stay awake and don't get taken
    Hollywood letters fallin' down
    Errol Flynn's abandoned mansion
    Scary Hillside guy
    Angel dust low-ridin' by
    We swam into the Pacific
    And Windward intersection
    Viet Nan vet I met and cannot forget
    Bikers on the 101 and
    77 Sunset Strip
    Old cars and new scars
    78's on cassette tape
    After hours blues escape. AM radio dedications
    Madison
    Lincoln, any old city
    A tiny little x on a white marquee
