Our Man in  Europe/dave delacroix/ "East of Eden, senza James Dean!"


(dedicato: Paul Zachery Zermeno)


...U can take the Boy out of L.A. (Los Angeles)...but U CAN'T take the L.A. out of the Boy!
Love? Love affairs: "Livin' da Vita-Loca?" Or shake ya Money-maker! There's NEVER enough to shake-rattle-and roll; Italiano, Hispanic, Jewish-righteous on downtown, L.A., HOPE street?

U can take the boy outtta' L.A.; or, the San Fernando GIRL: Love is always IN sight, like a Malibu sunset or that Wedding gig that - pregnant - comes too soon, someplace, on Hollywood and Vine?
...An L.A. freeway-car chase ending in a crash, and later, celebrity Lawyers feasting, "pontificationi", that excludes "reasonable doubt" to rob the Bank of Santa Monica on Ventura Boulevard, which WASN'T robbed at all?

They were "in love". Technically, abandoned with Uncle Sergio's Sky-Blue Pontiac (which fitted some cop-description) on some freeway of love, don't'cha know?

U can take the Boy outta L.A. but U CAN'T - quite impossible! - take the L.A. out of  da Boy!

Witness the Tyre skid marks railin' cross the Hollywood Bowl freeway "Off-ramp"; Scars on the Soul!
SUNG, veiled in the L.A. smog, Technoed! And  RAPPED into eternity?

One year later Ramirez and Juanita are re-united at a Paraplegics hospital in Riverside (a district of L.A.).
"...Heard the D.A. dropped the frickin' charges?"
"Righteous, Baby-doll!"
"We could'a stopped and paid the speeding ticket on the 402?"
"YO!"
""Dacorde! (Agreed)"

U can take the Boy out of L.A....but U can't take the L.A. outta' da Boy, neither a San Fernando Valley Girl, dressed to the "Nines" and chewing Gum, humming: "No Sleep to Brooklyn"...or in wonder,  some place East of Eden.
