Me and the Magic Man







"Rollin' down the Imperial Highway
With a big nasty redhead at my side
Santa Ana winds blowin' hot from the north
And we as born to ride

Roll down the window put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys baby
Don't let the music stop
We're gonna ride it till we just can't ride it no more

>From the South Bay to the Valley
>From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody's very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day

I love L.A. (We love it)
I love L.A. (We love it)

Look at that mountain
Look at those trees
Look at that bum over there, man
He's down on his knees
Look at these women
There ain't nothin' like 'em nowhere

Century Boulevard (We love it)
Victory Boulevard (We love it)
Santa Monica Boulevard (We love it)
Sixth Street (We love it, we love it)

I love L.A."

-Randy Newman



That Randy Newman song ruled my childhood. The championships, the Riley "Next Year We're Going To Do It again" Guarantee, the smashing of the Sixers, Celtics and Pistons....I still have it all in a vault full of VHS tapes. Growing up in Los Angeles in the 80's, I was a witness to the greatest basketball player to have ever laced it up.

When Magic rolled by the shop the other day and we were able to lace him up with a few Fly Or Die tees, it was ALL OVER. You can see my nerves through the pics. I was standing and talking to the Magic Man Earvin Johnson. I was like the Joker with my fuckin grin the whole time I chatted with him, no joke, haha!

I'm getting a replica of the Magic Staples Center statue erected in the shop. Anyone know who can make this for me??
