Freeway<BR/>Hole: Malibu<BR/>NWA: Straight Outta Compton<BR/>Weezer: Beverly Hills<BR/>The Beatles: Blue Jay Way<BR/>Cheech Marin: Born In East L.A.<BR/>Madonna: Hollywood<BR/>Boz Skaggs: Hollywood<BR/>Neil Young: Revolution Blues<BR/>Everclear: Santa Monica<BR/>Concrete Blonde: Still In Hollywood<BR/><BR/>...collect 'em all.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link, I'll recip when I update this weekend.<BR/><BR/>Mare: Boston will go on the to-do list; thanks for dropping by. I think NY will be next, but Boston is worthy. We can start with "Dirty Water" by the Standells, and go on from there...<BR/><BR/>Tube: Nice to see your name. I'm a big X-Man!<BR/><BR/>Carol: I could also include the Gipsy Kings' version of "Hotel California"...<BR/><BR/>Jim Santo: Thanks for the etymology of "copacetic". I was raised in NYC and never heard it used there, but maybe I was running in the wrong circles. The link you provided is fascinating, although it raises more questions than it answers about that mysterious word...<BR/><BR/>mellow: Good old Arlo. Never hear about him much anymore. Except "Alice's Restaurant" every Thanksgiving on Public Radio...<BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone!

You've reminded me of songs long forgotten ("Walking in LA," "Redondo Beach"). Your list merits a mention on my blog, and it is now so.
