The Rhodes piano then. I know Harold Rhodes was a local, and the prototype
was made nearby. Also while the Hammond B-3 and Leslie organ were not
invented here, it was in a Wilshire Blvd department store where they were
first connected to each other and a new sound was born. Betcha didn't know
that. The digital drum machine reference was the Linn LM-1 drum machine,
which was made by Hollywood High alumnus Roger Linn.

That's cos Los Angeles is a city infested with transplants. That also has
to do with why a lot of things don't go right in this city, because these
people don't give a shit. They just wanna be stars and shit and not give
back to the community. (Fuck, even illegal aliens have more civic pride. So
ship the transplants back where they came from, I say. Ask any homeless
person or teenage runaway on the street where they're from, they're not
even from the area. They're not even from California).
And since these outsiders don't have any friends in town whom they can feel
comfortable watching the game with, they have no choice but to go to a bar.
That's right you'll never see that scene in Philly, cos what Angeleno wants
to move to Philadelphia anyway? :)
