THE VIEW FROM THE WEST - VOL. 3
Charles Manson, David Letterman, Michael Jackson, Axl Rose.
All four, as young men, fled Indiana and headed West.

Los Angeles, California.
Doves on power lines. Rats in palm trees.
One of my all-time favorite Letterman jokes: Autumn is my favorite season in LA, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.
In my youth, I didn’t really have an urge to drive East. It was always South or West.
Now? I think about New York a lot. And Buenos Aires.
I’ve never been to Buenos Aires.
