There used to be a place in West Hollywood called Pandora’s Box, a great hangout for all ages. A refuge for free-thinkers. The closing of the club and the riots that occurred inspired Stephen Stills to write the song for What It’s Worth. The song rings true now for all of us as we sort through the machinations that our culture has created. Fight back against the machine, stay in love, stay real.

I hope we can create a new place like this in Los Angeles. A place where people can communicate, share ideas, hear great music and feel free. It’s coming . . . I can feel it.
