Silverlake isn't just the area around Sunset Junction and the reservoir...and why pick that lady to speak on behalf of the neighborhood and not a latino person who's probably lived here his whole life?

I was actually focusing on the sunset junction area, not so much silver lake as a whole. For the project, I had to focus on a small area, not a neighborhood. I should have been clear on that with the title and description. I should have taken more into account though. Thanks for the feedback.

@richp60 That is heavy picture you are painting there man! I dig it. I am picturing it in my head it to be an October or November warm L.A. evening in 1977 as the sun sets and turns the sky into an orgasmic purple-orange and golden yellow.

Guitar Joe would play and play outside all day in front of that church off of Sunset Blvd. He wouldn't be allowed inside the Silverlake Lounge yet he was more talented in a raw untrained way then alot of the "indie" music that dulled the vibe from the weekend Mexican tranny nights. Guitar Joe would not shout down the Centimeters but took pleasure and delight in being rambunctious to every Tampon commercial sounding band.

Silverlake~ Guitar Joe (RIP), cockfights, Bacchanalian bathroom orgies, cats everywhere, escaped parrots, old Kenneth Anger films, bodies buried in grand pianos and cocaine in fishbowls, theosophical grandmothers in mens clothes, driving uphill backwards high on DMT, sun dying Golden Light, contaminated reservoir, tinfoil channeling, cholos and queers intermingling, Rod Mckuen w/ the head of Phil Specter, houses falling off hills, dead cowboy heroes high on speed........
