I took a walk and went into some shops on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills last weekend, really when we walked back to the car, I felt dirty. (Except for my foray into the Omega watch shop).

To show the other side of the picture my brother-in-law has been in the industry for over 40 years. One of our best friends was a head writer of some fame. He wrote for Steve Allen, Bob Hope, and MANY others I could name. (even 3 presidents). He used to take me when I was a teenager to hear some of this worlds greatest jazz musicians. He'd keep a tight rein on me because of my dad. Through him I had the opportunity to meet many musicians and 'stars'.
When he decided he'd had enough of this world he killed himself. I'd give a lot to have another chance to talk with him.
These people may have $$$$ we don't have but the one thing they don't have much of is a witness because people have the attitude that just because many are jerks and rich they don't deserve one.........Christ came for the up-and-out too.
