Thank God

Southern California is home to so many amazing things such as Fashion Island and a classy chain of restaurants called Pink Taco. You would think that you died and gone to heaven most days, but the rats in the palm trees and the possums on your lawn bring it all back to earth.

The real story of this city can be found in the humble genre called B Movies. Thank God It's Friday, Roller Boogie, and The Van tell it like it is. Don't show me Chinatown directed by that damaged Polish kiddy diddler. Don't you dare mention LA Confidential, Barton Fink, or even Beverly Hills Cop. Those are fantastical bits of celluloid rubbish trying to sell a stylized, sterilized, organized Hollywood Blvd. Well, I'm here to tell you, it's ain't like that at all. It's ugly. Embrace it.

All you need to know about Los Angeles can be seen in Xanadu. Art, love, hopes, dreams, silly hair, skates. It's all there for you and for me.
