AMAZON: "Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. Members of bands like the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, The Monkees, Beach Boys, the Mamas and the Papas, The Turtles, The Eagles, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Steppenwolf, Captain Beefheart, CSN, Three Dog Night, Alice Cooper, the Doors, and Love with Arthur Lee, along with such singer/songwriters as Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, James Taylor, Carole King, Jackson Browne, Judi Sill and David Blue, lived together and jammed together in the bucolic community nestled in the Hollywood Hills.
But there was a dark side to that scene as well.
Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day. Far more integrated into the scene than most would care to admit was a guy by the name of Charles Manson, along with his murderous entourage. Also floating about the periphery were various political operatives, up-and-coming politicians, and intelligence personnel - the same sort of people who just happened to give birth to many of the rock stars populating the canyon. And all of the canyon's colorful characters - rock stars, hippies, murderers, and politicos - happily coexisted alongside a covert military installation."

Interesting book. I've considered starting a "required reading" thread and that one is definitely on the list.

Saw this article on Drudge.felt very "Laurel Canyon". interesting to say the least. Sabella's wifes surname is Radosavljevic. He hobknobs with shaman Durek, consort of Princess Martha Louise of Norway. (He recently said he was a reptilian lol) (https://opencorporates.com/officers/505997282) Article: "PICTURE YOURSELF NOT in a boat on a river but instead on a sectional sofa in a sunken living room in a majestic $9-million-dollar Point Dume mansion overlooking the Pacific. Here, the tangerine trees are actually whispering eucalypti, and the marmalade skies are a deep and comforting blue. Still, it’s pretty trippy. This is the home of Brandee and Damien Sabella—the unofficial first couple of Southern California psychedelia—a sprawling compound that feels like a five-star commune. Two sentinel-like guard dogs patrol the property Damien, 36, is the scion of a powerful Hong Kong real estate dynasty who now works in the music industry. They’re articulate, attractive, and artfully tatted out. And they do lots and lots of drugs." www.lamag.com/citythinkblog/shrooms-shamans-kosher-lsd-why-los-angeles-is-suddenly-tripping-out/www.integratedmindresearchinstitute.com/speakers/"As for Sabella, records reveal the $9.3 million Point Dume spread is not the only house he maintains in L.A. or in Malibu, for that matter. Earlier this year, he dropped another $2.7 million for an 8-acre ranch in Topanga Canyon, tucked into the semi-remote mountains between Malibu and the San Fernando Valley. And back in 2017, he forked out $3.8 million for a small ranch elsewhere on Point Dume." www.yahoo.com/entertainment/billionaire-heir-damien-sabella-buys-220539518.html |
