POP CULTURE, pop music:
again, l.a. times columnist steve harvey gets reseda, and this blogsite, in his sights. pegged on a remark in here, he calls attention to the post about music that includes reseda, however tangentially. the same entry brought an email, mentioning the storied country club and be bop records.
from the times:
"Valley History 101: After setting me straight about all the movies linked to the community, the Web site resedaweb.blogspot.com now has a feature on pop songs containing a local reference.
In the Frank Zappa song "Dummy Up," for instance, an un-hip character is asked: "Where you been livin'? Reseda?" (Zappa, by the way, attended Antelope Valley High.) Then, of course, there's the lyric by Tom Petty in "Free Fallin": "It's a long day living in Reseda/There's a freeway running through the yard." In case you haven't driven out that way lately, the Reseda Web site says, "There's still no freeway nearby." "
again, thank you steve. it's obvious, as he writes "now has a feature," it's not as if there will be a song a week or anything. that's all there is. i'd be happy to discover more, but my expectations are low. good thing this isn't about northridge... are there any northridge songs out there? northridge would have to have different details, be about different things, like the '94 earthquake. oh, wait... that was in reseda too. yet this map (note the red stickpin graphic) puts the coordinates for the '94 quake somewhere east of the hollywood sign. returning to gratuitious movie references: in the sci-fi comedy "evolution" (not filmed in reseda), the women's volleyball coach/community college geology professor says "geology is not an exact science." seems that may not have been a joke.
