L.A. is so big that if you don't actually live in Hollywood, you might as well be from a different planet.

One of the songs that stayed in my head that I really considered a lot was an old folk song called 'John Brown' - not the abolitionist John Brown, but the one that Bob Dylan has covered and sung before.
