The Angels are using the off-day on Monday to give Shohei Ohtani some extra rest. His next start will now come Friday vs Mariners instead of Thursday vs Cubs. He’ll also have one fewer start before the All-Star break as a result. It’s Anderson, Barria, Detmers vs Cubs. https://www.rawchili.com/2918399/

Quiet night after a super busy day. You can't see it in this picture, but I'm most excited that the new Bunker Hill/Arts Metro Station will be opening in a couple of weeks just behind The Broad (the white building on the left).

Today in Labor History June 4, 1943: The Zoot Suit riots began in Los Angeles, with white soldiers attacking and stripping mostly Latino, but also some black, Italian and Filipino youth who wearing zoot suits. They did it in response to wartime propaganda vilifying the wearers of zoot suits as unpatriotic hoodlums. There was a government ban on zoot suits and other long, woolen articles of clothing because of war rationing. Additionally, the LA Times had been whipping up racial tensions by publishing propaganda associating Mexican and Hispanic youth with delinquency, particularly in the wake of the Sleepy Lagoon murder. Race riots also occurred that summer in Mobile, Beaumont, Detroit, Chicago, San Diego, Oakland, Philadelphia and New York City.

During the Great Depression, the U.S. had deported between 500,000 and 2 million Mexicans. Of the 3 million who remained, the largest concentration lived in Los Angeles. Because of discrimination, many were forced into jobs with below-poverty wages. And then, the U.S. military built a naval academy in the Latino community of Chavez Ravine, further exacerbating tensions.

Zoot suits (baggy pegged pants with a long, flamboyant jacket that reached the knees) became popular in the early 1940s, particularly among young African American men. It was associated with a sense of pride, individuality and rebellion against mainstream culture. The trend quickly made its way into the Hispanic and Filipino subcultures in southern California. During this time, there was also a rise of pachuco culture among Latin youth. Chicano or pachuco jazz had become incredibly popular. Some of the great Pachuco band leaders included Lalo Guerrero, Don Tosti and Don Ramon Martinez.

Margarita Engle depicted The Zoot Suit riots in her young adult novel, Jazz Owls (2018), which she wrote in verse.

I get it, the Yanks are the Bronx Bombers. But “Hang Howard” - Elston Howard was Black - and “Murder Maris” - two years after Roger Maris received a lot of death threats during his race to 61.

Metro Los Angeles' Regional Connector opens in two weeks. It has the potential to be a transformative project, allowing run-through service without needing to transfer downtown. The Link Union Station project has the potential of being similarly transformative for Metrolink, enabling run-through service as we move from the concept of "commuter rail" to "regional rail".

Having grown up largely in the LA area, and spent a lot of time wandering around in the local hills and mountains, I'm always interested in how mountain lions continue to hang on in such an urbanized area of California. Especially when there are kittens -- three of them, to be exact.

Some of you know of the filmmaker, Penelope Spheeris, because you know she directed the 1992 film, WAYNE'S WORLD. But the film of her's I like most is the 1981 #documentary, THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION, which I saw in the early 80s at a local art house theater — probably as the "midnight movie" selection. The film hit me like a ton of bricks. I never forgot it.

I recently paid nearly $30 for the blandest take-out #pizza I've ever eaten in #LosAngeles. So I wrote a snarky #Yelp review, insinuating that the restaurant had copied Costco's boring recipe.

An hour later, I deleted the review. I found no joy in attacking a small business that didn't do anything malicious. Indeed, deleting that review felt so good, I went ahead and deleted my Yelp account that had years of reviews.

At least for me, the value of #socialmedia isn't always worth the cost.

"It was like Dorothy landing in Oz" - what happened when Alice Cooper went to Los Angeles
Once upon a time, a garage band from Phoenix moved to LA and became Alice Cooper, with a little help from Frank Zappa, a dark alter ego and... West Side Story

https://www.loudersound.com/features/it-was-like-dorothy-landing-in-oz-what-happen-when-alice-cooper-went-to-los-angeles

#AliceCooper #LosAngeles #70sRock #GlamRock #MusicHistory

ChatGPT making things up about the article:
Alice Cooper's move to L.A. was a pivotal moment for the rock and metal world. Starting off in Detroit, the group experienced a shift in sound and style that revolutionized heavy metal and rock 'n' roll. When they arrived in L.A. they were embraced by the scene, even receiving help from Frank Zappa and hearing the locals chant "Alice, Alice, Alice!" The atmosphere in the city enabled the group to thrive and experiment, creating a new kind of hard rock that captivated audiences everywhere. Alice Cooper truly made a name and home for themselves in L.A. and set the stage for the future of the genre.
