Your tales of LA and the music are, as always, so inspiring but your outreach and call for everyone to help and how to do so are the most inspiring of all. I thank you and could not be more proud that we are related ❤️🌟😊T
I bought "The World is a Ghetto" when it came out...on 8-track tape! ... and wore it out! What a killer album of the time & place, it still sounds amazing.
Thank you so much for the War memories! I was in Jr High when these songs were so popular in my mixed race school. Thanks for taking me back
My pleasure, Lori. Thanks for reading!
That band's sound is irresistible, and it defines L.A. musically as much as the city's geography and heritage are also definitively defined.
Wonderful piece, and thanks for linking to my gofundme donation post, Dan.
Thanks, Ellen - and thank you for alerting me and others to those GoFundMes!

Awww - thank you, Toni! It was all your fault that I even visited L.A. in the first place! :)
Yep!

Amazing classic. I saw War when fronted by Eric |Burdon at a 1970 Hyde Park free concert. Incredible band.
Another friend was just telling me today about stumbling into the Troubadour in LA in 1970 and finding Eric and War onstage!
This is great. Thanks from a "Native Angeleno".
Thanks for reading, Lorrie!
Well put, there's been a segment of the population that has "got it" for ages yet here we are again.
We keep having to re-learn the same old lessons…
