I got a lot of good things done on this excursion, and I&#8217;ll reporting on some of this in future blog postings.<\/p>\n<p>By producing this film, I&#8217;ve been accused of being nostalgic for the past, as I embrace and celebrate the music of this funny little song that was written in the 50&#8217;s, and made very big in the 60&#8217;s.   I suppose I&#8217;m also nostalgic for a past that didn&#8217;t seem it was so very long ago.   The last time I spent any serious time in Los Angeles&#8230;. as opposed to quick 12 hour visits, gas was only $1.50 a gallon and modestly cheap (not skank) hotel rooms were $40 a night.   In 2007, gas is $3.30 a gallon, and the  cheap hotel rooms are $85 a night.   It doesn&#8217;t seem it like was that long ago, but there&#8217;s been a lot of changes in the past 8 years.   Sometimes, life does feel so much like an episode of the Twilight Zone, where &#8220;normal&#8221; things are not quite &#8220;normal&#8221; anymore, and there&#8217;s nothing I can do about it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, I&#8217;m back, and recharged with even more material for my documentary, which feels very invigorating&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m back intact from my quick little roadtrip to Southern California for this LOUIE project.
