The Ripple Effect: The Music Commentary Radio Show  

Bereft of sleep and common sense, we made our way into the fire.

When LA burns, it really burns. Smoke billowed from the foothills of the northern Los Angeles and the air was dense with the scent of burning brush. Hollywood in itself is a planet, and driving through ash strewn streets made the resident freaks and geeks that much more colorful. We started our Ripple field trip packed with anticipation, on Sunset Boulevard in the heart of Hollywood. The temperature was a balmy ninety plus degrees, fire raging in the hills, and the clock had yet to strike 10:00am. Believe us, hell hath no fury like Racer with no A/C!

It felt hotter than it was and the mushroom cloud from the adjacent fire (see pic to left) made it feel like we were at the threshold of some hellish Armageddon.

Oh . . . Hollywood always looks like this? Huh.
