Exploring 西好莱坞
Uncover the electric energy of this Los Angeles County community from a trio of storied experts
On this episode of the California Now 播客, host Soterios约翰逊 explores the culture, 音乐, and iconic attractions of 西好莱坞 through the eyes of three pro最小值ent locals.
第一个, Johnson speaks with Rod Gruendyke, longtime general manager of the famed A-lister haunt, 日落侯爵. Gruendyke shares some of the stories he’s accumulated over the decades, including tales of Green Day’s prank wars, Paul Newman’s culinary preferences, and an impromptu photo shoot with ZZ Top frontman Billy Gibbons. From Bono to Billy Bob Thornton to Rihanna, celebs swear by 日落侯爵, and our lead guest helps explain why the property is such a draw.
下一个, 大卫·厄尔, founder and CEO of the world-famous gay bar 威斯敏斯特大教堂, takes the California Questionnaire. The 西好莱坞 trailblazer shares how his California dream day would unfold, where he would like to go on the ultimate road trip, and his go-to place for a Golden State splurge.
Lastly, Johnson connects with Tommy Black, 音乐ian and longtime GM of 毒蛇屋. Hear his song “夏天带走了我” play as Black chats with Johnson about the irresistible energy of the Sunset Strip and WeHo’s evolving 音乐 scene, plus an anecdote from a memorable show with Willie Nelson and Woody Harrelson.
