The idea of a space ship crashed into the side of a building probably makes perfect sense in LA. Passersby acted like it was weirder for me to be taking a picture.


I was only in Los Angeles briefly, but long enough to absorb some of the ambient surreality. LA is a vast blossoming infestation of memes -- a dynamic so completely divorced from my native Midwest that it might as well be from another planet.

Mac, I'm from L.A. -- Hollywood in fact. I'm going quote you:

LA is a vast blossoming infestation of memes . . . "

If I may; that is a great comment.

I am too. I see this poster every week as I go to the studio to do my radio show, which is where Mac took this pic when he was a guest last year.

Apparently it puts you in touch with that elusive time "Beyond the moment of pleasure," which is something almost anyone can relate to.
