[@muziktrkr]

One of the things I like about your videos is how much something cost at the time you made the video, especially gas prices, but it’s always fun to see when movies are being shot and hilarious when they break the umbrellas out. Used to see some pretty cool shows at Canters in the Kibitz Room.

[@joelfrombethlehem]

Thank you! That was great. Mike, although you do not do much planning, you do have an idea of what you want to film and if something doesn't work out as you think it should, you also have a "plan B", a "plan C" and perhaps a "plan D" The last section of this video at Universal was fun. Thanks again!

[@imurhuckleberry5793]

Interesting variety today, Mike! Because you mentioned and showed the Guns and Roses matchup in Melrose Alley, requesting to stay on the Music Train and do some content around other band’s key locations around LA & Venice. My personal interests would be Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Doors. You may have already covered Jim Morrison in particular due to his heavy connection to Venice Beach. If so, I am sure that I have seen-I do watch all your videos. Another idea you may pivot on if I am to throw out another request Venice Freakshow. I saw them when they were on the boardwalk and last I heard they moved to Vegas. Morgue (Sword Swallower) was a trip but all players made that experience super cool. Used to watch their reality show and was interesting to see behind the scenes and watch their daughter grow up. Speaking of Melrose, a store I believe still there and definitely catered to Rock and Roll Stars, The Great Frog. I have some cherished purchases from them and sure there is a story or two there, but may be hard angle to sell. Went to a concert Red Bot Chili Peppers, Beck (with Jack Black) put on at The Palladium, a benefit for the wildfires at the time. A story on this venue or even more importantly the many California wildfires would hold my interest and raise awareness for all the times there was a time of need. Ongoing issue to happen and residents must take it as a way of life there. Sure they stay in a preparedness state/mode. Love anything you send our way and loved to also spend the day with the O.G. * G.I.V!
