Today is Axl Rose's birthday!

Sadly, Mom has taken all of my photos of Mr. Rose (who turns forty-six today) pinning several of them to the wall of the sunroom, thinking they are pictures of composer David Rose. Miss Van Doren is celebrating her seventy-seventh birthday. Here is a riveting recent interview and, no, that is not yours truly interviewing this woman This morning we ate breakfast in the main dining room of the Hotel, and the food is terrible, let me tell you. While enjoying a Spicy Bloody Mary with our nutwaffles, I overheard Mr. Benchley telling Harpo Marx that today is also Ramon Navarro's birthday (109!)- we'll talk more about him on Halloween (hint-truly, it all turns to shit)-but this is Mr Navarro's fabulous Los Feliz residence
Today marks the tenth passing of Beach Boy Carl Wilson, who now is a Westwood resident.
