It turns out that
Rockstars are people just like anybody else. And like youre
gonna learn from my story and pictures, Rockstars can be a hell
of a lot sicker.
You dont see it at first.
He was so cool.
After that first night he takes
me up to his place. Its on one of those twisty little turny
roads that thread through the hollywood hills like intricate embroidery,
stitching a pattern wealth and snobbiness thats not hard to
see over the hedges. And his place wasnt blow away big or
anything but it was cool. He didnt really say much about it
because I dont think he knows much about it. Architecture
doesnt interest him. He says shit like, "I dont
know. Its just walls to me."
But they werent walls to
me. His house was this platform shoved into the side of a steep
hill surrounded by arches and glass. And of course there were walls
but they were natural. They were right. Im not saying that
I know two shits about architecture but I can say that his little
platform on stilts improves that hillside more than it detracts.
It stands out. Most of those other
little places up there are Spanish style things with those red clay
tiles and the walls facing the street so you can see the front of
the house. Mr. Rockstar doesnt even have a wall like that.
If people knew where he lived they could drive right on by and see
him in his underwear through the big plate glass windows.
