For as many years as I’ve lived in Los Angeles and as much as I love rock and roll, I’ve never been to the Whisky a Go Go, the world-famous nightclub on the Sunset Strip. A friend of a friend is actually roommates with a woman who used to be one of the go-go dancers back in the day, and I’ve heard that she has many a story to tell. The other day I saw that Def Leppard did an invitation-only show at the Whisky as a promotion for their new record. That probably would have been an interesting baptism, even as a casual fan.
