Lights! Camera! Wait for the @#$!#$# Helicopter!

Andrew Dunn and Chris Wilson, two very nice guys from the BBC—that’s Andrew on the left; Chris to the right fixating on the video monitor—visited the atelier a couple days ago to interview me for a documentary they’re producing about the L.A. music scene in the ’60s and ’70s. A big part of the scene, of course, was Laurel Canyon, and so it fell to me to reflect on the happenings therein.

Chris asked excellent questions; hopefully they’ll be able to stitch something coherent together from my ramblings. Besides which we had to keep stopping because a police helicopter decided to plant itself in a shallow orbit over Lookout Mountain for what seemed like a minor eternity—the Man, watchful as ever.

Anyway, their as-yet untitled documentary will air this fall in the U.K; it’ll make its way to the States at some point, they assure me.

It’s an important piece of work, historically and culturally, and these guys are doing it right.
