Hey Karen,
Yeah, it was mad! That is when punk was dangerous everywhere! Riots were
scary and I have been in many but always stood on the sidelines for cops loved
to beat the shit of you if you were throwing bottles or whatever. The
Expolited riot in Feb 1983 was probbaly the most crazyist! You counld not get away
from the cops for safety! TSOL SIR studios in Jan 1983 was another on in
Hollywood too. I saw punks not doing anything but trying to get out there get
maced and beat! Sad!:(
I do not think anything will mess up tonights gig it should be pretty cool.
Hope to see you there.
Cheers,
~ LB

Howdy, LB:
Yeah, my hubby used to go to gigs at those places in the early-mid 80s -- he
said it was f-ing crazy.
He went to the Whiskey, Gazzari's, the Roxy, etc. Good times, I would
imagine! Sounds like you were enjoying it, too!
As for HOB, I've never been there. I just pray nothing interferes with KJ!
They must conquer Los Angeles! ; )
Ciao,
k.w.

Karen,
I hope not too. But if you look at the history of The Sunset Strip lots of
crazy shit has happened over the years.
In the early 80's with punk gigs shit would jump off crazy! I witness some
of them as I was14. Especially at The Whisky A Go Go. One gig I remember was
Vice Squad & Chron Gen in summer of 1982 and punks were throwing bottles
outside at Sheriffs, doing stage dives on cop cars, and also breaking windows all
down the strip!
I just read the article in the California section of today's LA Times about
this ordeal and they listed some of the incidents. I tried to look back on
The HOB calendar and did not find any listings of who played those gigs. They
could be rap? Or Punk? Who knows?
Cheers,
- LB

This for L.A. folks and what not, but I just heard this last night. But I do
not think it will affect upcoming shows.

WeHo House Of Blues' Future In Trouble
WEST HOLLYWOOD The West Hollywood City Council Monday discussed the
possibility of revoking or suspending the House of Blues' business license because
of a series of violent incidents and management's failure to address them.
>From September 2007 to September 2008, events at the House of Blues have led
to 44 arrests, including for fights, drunken and disorderly behavior and
grand theft, more than doubling the arrests for the same period in 2006 to 2007,
according to Councilman John Heilman.
There have been more than 100 sheriff's radio dispatches in the past year to
the club at 8430 Sunset Blvd.
"Unfortunately, for the last several years, the House of Blues has had a
history of serious problems and an unwillingness to address these problems,"
said Heilman, who introduced the motion to begin proceedings to revoke or
suspend the club's license.
"After each serious incident, there is a perfunctory apology and a promise
to reform, but the problems persist and have escalated."
The club's general manager spoke at Monday's council meeting, pointing out
the club's high revenues for the city and ability to draw some 300,000
visitors each year. But he did not address the history of problems that have
occurred at the venue.
Heilman's fellow council members also expressed unhappiness at the meeting
over the club's failure to fix the growing problems, which have caused
distractions and inconvenience to residents and businesses nearby.
On Sept. 4, more than 100 people were involved in fights both inside and
outside the club. Sheriff's deputies required assistance by officers from
the Los Angeles and Beverly Hills police departments to keep crowds under
control.
Authorities arrested several people that night on outstanding warrants,
battery and drunkenness, and one woman was hospitalized.
Helicopter units monitored the area from above until 1 a.m. while a stretch
of Sunset Boulevard remained closed for several hours.
Because of the closure, several nearby businesses lost customers and were
not able to to return vehicles to their customers already at their
establishments, Heilman said.
