Comment:

The world's oldest story- young aspiring thing goes to Hollywood, gets distracted, gets loaded, gets used up and spit out, and then i make a mix tape of trying to tell the story in songs. The last bit's kinda new, though...

The title comes from the most excellent book by Nathanel West. The man could write out the down and out in Tinseltown, that's for damn sure.

Inspired by Vali (who's doing the sequel to the mix in true Hollywood style), and dedicated to Julia Phillips and Peter Dragon, the personifications of delicious Hollywood sleaze.

Anyone who wants to trade, drop me a line at viedma9@yahoo.com.

Gotta go, can't talk right now- i've got an interview with VH1's "Behind the Music" chronicling my love affair with the bottle, heroin, and Scott Baio, as well as filming a "behind the scenes- the making of 'The Day of the Locust,'" but i'll be in touch after my stint in rehab...
