Los Angeles Goes Out – Not Up!
Reinvigoration and we’re running up that hill,
But are we in the wrong sort of bungalow – Bill?
It was pots and pans and party time when Nabil was only two!
Happy House on Top of the Pops showed Budgie’s Ratamacue!
Drum lessons on the roof – of the National Geographic!
Inside the Hallowed world of the drummer’s secret handshake
All the drummers in Pasadena put together make an earthquake
A Night in the Museum with an Egyptian sort of sound
Genesis and Focus on the Oval cricket ground
Bow Bells are Ringing!
Cheech of Chong made Lol an Angelino
In the Biggest library in the Town of Televisino
An unlikely meeting of Minds at the LA Forum
Don’t tell Duff McKagan or even Matt Sorum
Books Books Books!
When your whole life drifts like a Spirit in the Sky
There’s no time left as Tears go By
The second one’s needed, so no need to sell ‘em
It’s a personal thing – it’s the way I tell ‘em
Memory is Not an Exact Science!
Don’t you Love me Baby?
But you condensed my life into half a chapter!
It probably didn’t fit the greater arc of the story
It’s not what happens – it’s how you remember it.
