My good, dear, flawed friend, David Schoffman has served as my eyes and ears, tracking the cultural climate of sunny southern California. Our arrangement goes back several decades and I am pleased to report that we are experiencing the dramatic effects of profound Climate Change.
For years we Parisians had dismissed the west coast of the United States as a tepid backwater of middlebrow mumbo jumbo, a mosh pit of pedestrian bromides masquerading as art. I'm pleased that this is no longer the case.
Schoffman has been urging me for the better part of the year to start listening to the Los Angeles podcaster Timmy Black. Having no idea what a 'podcaster' was, I dismissed his suggestion as just another endorsement for some new but ultimately fugitive trend.
Boy was I wrong!!!
