that was very well put. i hope you email a copy of that to the hotel cafe, as well as to the LA WEEKLY, and perhaps the LA TIMES entertainment editor. you have a great writing style and i appreciated your sentiment very much. so will many others, i'm sure.

i used to know marko pretty well, and while he isn't "like that", he certainly does want to make money. and money seems to be the reigning and supreme evil, doesn't it? the HC isn't what it used to be to say the least. and that is VERY SAD! i don't think marko minds that the HC is fast on its way to becoming even more hot and happening than it ever was. the end of an "era" for sure.
