Every year, thousands of Californians flee that populous paradise for tax-eased small government oasis of America's red states.
There's this sort of migration west at the moment, a sort of energy that's definitely moving to LA.
My parents moved out to California in 1968 from Ohio in a VW station wagon pulling a little trailer. I was 4 months old. They were following the energy out here.
In the very early Seventies and the very late Sixties, nobody out here was originally from L.A.
I don't know who these people are who think they can just move to L.A. and get a job the next day - that does not happen.
Californians tend to be outspoken. When the great migration began, the more timid people must have stayed home, and the bolder ones headed west.
Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles.
I came to L.A. when I was 19, and my two roommates were blue-eyed, blond dudes. I helped coach them, and they both landed pilots.
My mother came from India to go to the University of California, Berkeley.
