    The Rhodes piano then. I know Harold Rhodes was a local, and the prototype
    was made nearby. Also while the Hammond B-3 and Leslie organ were not
    invented here, it was in a Wilshire Blvd department store where they were
    first connected to each other and a new sound was born. Betcha didn't know
    that. The digital drum machine reference was the Linn LM-1 drum machine,
    which was made by Hollywood High alumnus Roger Linn.

    That's cos Los Angeles is a city infested with transplants. That also has
    to do with why a lot of things don't go right in this city, because these
    people don't give a shit. They just wanna be stars and shit and not give
    back to the community. (Fuck, even illegal aliens have more civic pride. So
    ship the transplants back where they came from, I say. Ask any homeless
    person or teenage runaway on the street where they're from, they're not
    even from the area. They're not even from California).
    And since these outsiders don't have any friends in town whom they can feel
    comfortable watching the game with, they have no choice but to go to a bar.

    That's right you'll never see that scene in Philly, cos what Angeleno wants
    to move to Philadelphia anyway? :)
