ET puts a great spin on the awesome jaw-dropping stories of Hollywood Blvd blockbusters and Vine Street cd releases. Yet we all secretly know the entertainment capitol of the world can be a black hole of youth-driven deep vacuous space sucking the life out of anything that comes near it. Enter the Twilight Zone!
It's not just the stereotypical WallStreet investors bankrolling films or the ultra rich power elite running the music biz- it's any Joe blow coming off the backwoods of Main Street USA. Turn a camera on a redneck straight from the country or a college grad with fresh acting lessons, and either way you get the same result- fun at first but then the ego kicks in and it's caviar and Cristal. It's arguably high quality entertainment from the streets of scripted reality. At what cost? Scientists now think it evacuates the spirit and kills the nature of anyone crossing it's path. Take a typical kid off the street and throw him into a million dollar recording contract with a killer new indie label cutting some fresh tracks and touring the world, only to fall into the gravitational pull of the trap we call LA metro and succumbing to the mass-media induced coma of selective amnesia, forgetting who he is or what got him to CaLi in the 1st place.
Like a global killing asteroid passing the threshold of a super massive black hole, it loses direction and filters down into that space-time wormhole of entertainment lights and fame transforming into a new comic book character anti-superhero jerk who instantly has no time for anyone or anything- strike the occasional real estate agent offering views of beachfront condos in Malibu.
So if you're streaking across the black deep space of the highways of entertainment, watch out for the pitfalls and avoid the alleyways of the biz- take the high road of self-consciousness. Pinch yourself into the here and now- developing an awareness of universal reality of the spirit of your surroundings. Then stay true to course and the human spirit. You never know, that PA you snub might just direct your next film or hire you on your next big music project.
Hollywood often imitates a constantly warping spacial trap! And if you don't watch, it can draw you into an inescapable wormhole- wherein lies a parallel universe with an alternate reality awaiting. Muahaha!
Other than that- it's a great location to:
1 shoot a film
2 record an album
3 learn to surf..
Peace!
