The first ten years, there were a lot of moments where I thought, I should have stayed in college. Where I would be sitting on a rock by the ocean saying, “what have I done”? People would walk by and go, “are you okay buddy?”. I would say, “yeah, I just think I screwed up my life, that’s all”.
-Neal Doughty on his initial uncertainty in REO Speedwagon as a rock musician, in this 2015 interview: https://www.google.com/amp/s/nysmusic.com/amp/2015/09/10/a-chat-with-neal-doughty-part-ii-reo-speedwagons-legendary-musician/
#Neal Doughty#REO Speedwagon#awww Neal nooo#but then no wonder he seemed so reserved and grumpy in the 70s#(ten years in was when Bruce joined the band...)

Glitter, glam, grit
Driving down the Sunset Strip in the 1970s could be hazardous to your health. The dozens of balconies lining the Continental Hyatt House were often populated with visiting rock stars, including The Who, Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin. Like overstimulated toddlers, these men ran riot over the hotel.
Zeppelin band members rode a motorcycle up and down the halls, Jim Morrison hung off a 10th-floor balcony like a monkey, and orgies were an almost nightly occurrence. Oblivious to the people below, Keith Richards and Keith Moon supposedly threw TVs off the balcony, while John Bonham pelted cars with water balloons and champagne bottles.
Hotel staff had a remarkably lenient attitude toward these rock ‘n’ roll antics.
“One night we got crazy and threw a chair out the window,” Neal Doughty, REO Speedwagon pianist, told Michael Walker, author of Laurel Canyon. “Ten seconds later we got a call from the desk. All they said was, ‘Did you at least look first?’”
The Sunset Strip of the 1970s was miles away from the whimsical peace and love of the mid-1960s. The new scene was grittier, tougher, and more jaded, with a hard-edged glamour befitting the times.
In the late ’60s and early ’70s, a new spate of clubs and musical venues opened that would define the Strip for the next two decades.
These included the rock ‘n’ roll venue Gazzarri’s, where Van Halen got its start, and the Comedy Store, which opened in 1972 at Ciro’s old home. Soon, the kooky and shrewd Mitzi Shore would be playing den mother to a group of comic geniuses, including Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, and, later, Sam Kinison, and Andrew Dice Clay. In 1973, the upscale Roxy Theatre opened, backed by music industry heavyweights David Geffen, Elliot Roberts, and Lou Adler.
The venerable Whisky continued to rock, being the gold standard for new acts starting out on the Strip. Then there was the brief reign of Rodney Bingenheimer’s English Disco (first at 8171 Sunset and later at 7561 Sunset), which opened in 1972.
“The three pioneers of the Sunset Strip during the ’70s and ’80s were Bill Gazzarri, Mario Maglieri, and of course Rodney Bingenheimer, who was a very popular disc jockey on KROQ,” Sunset Strip historian and resident Alison Martino says. “He introduced bands to Los Angeles that would never have gotten their start without him.”
Through his popular radio show and the English Disco, the soft-spoken, starry-eyed Bingenheimer, known as the “Mayor of the Sunset Strip,” would bring glam and glitter rock to Los Angeles.
He would introduce the Strip to the wonders of David Bowie—and later Iggy Pop, Blondie, and New Wave acts. Inside the Disco, legendary groupies like Lori Maddox, Pamela Des Barres, and Sable Starr danced in sequin pants and halter tops, attempting to get the attention of rockers like Rod Stewart or Robert Plant. In November 1973, writer Richard Cromelin reported in the Los Angeles Times:
Once inside, everybody’s a star. The social rules are simple but rigid: All you want to hear is how fabulous you look, so you tell them how fabulous they look. You talk about how bored you are, coming here night after night, but that there’s no place else to go. If you’re not jaded, there’s something wrong. It’s good to come in very messed up on some kind of pills every once in a while, and weekend nights usually see at least one elaborate, tearful fight or breakdown.
The Disco, which included regulars like The Runaways’ Joan Jett, Lita Ford, and Cherie Currie, even enticed the King himself to find out what all the fuss was about. “Elvis Presley came in, and they I.D. him,” Martino recalls. “And he actually left his license at the front while he went in and hung out for a while… he left his license there—I think Rodney still has it.”
The scene was just as intense over at The Rainbow, a mock Tudor-style Italian restaurant with a dance floor upstairs. Opened in 1972 by Whisky impresarios Mario Maglieri and Elmer Valentine, it was financed by a group including Lou Adler and press agent Bob Gibson. The Rainbow served as what Walker calls a “round table of LA’s rock elite.” It was soon a popular hangout for the likes of John Belushi, Elton John, Ringo Starr, and John Lennon.
But not everyone was impressed with the rarified air of the Rainbow. “It is a hellish place, desperate and crowded and it means you aren’t satisfied with your friends if you have to drink with them at the Rainbow,” writer and socialite Eve Babitz wrote in Eve’s Hollywood. “It’s no fun.”
After the clubs had closed for the night, the stars and their paramours decamped to hotels like Chateau Marmont and the Continental Hyatt House, which earned its nickname as the “Riot House” with its balcony antics alone.
According to Walker, teenage waifs like Morgana Welch, part of a pack of groupies known as the “LA Queens,” spent their days in the coffee shop of the Hyatt House, waiting for their rock gods to check-in and check them out. Today, the Hyatt House is the Andaz West Hollywood. It’s still a hotel, but it’s missing its most defining feature. “When the Andaz took it over, they took out the balconies,” Martino says. “That was probably smart!”
During the ’70s, the Strip musical scene evolved from rock and glam to punk. With the dawn of the 1980s, a new musical genre was germinating on the Strip—glam metal—which would soon take over the clubs on Sunset and charts across America.
In 1981, three young punks named Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, and Nikki Sixx (who had spent part of his itinerant childhood living in the Strip’s Sunset Tower) moved into a house at 1124 North Clark Street, directly above the Strip. As members of the band Motley Crue, they were making a name for themselves on the Strip, while living in a filthy house, swarming with roaches and vermin, which became party central for the likes of David Lee Roth. Neil recalled the scene in the band’s autobiography The Dirt:
We played the Whisky, half the crowd would come back to our house and drink and do blow, smack, Percodan, quaaludes, and whatever else we could get for free… There would be members of punk-scene remnants like 45 Grave and the Circle Jerks coming to our almost nightly parties while guys in metal newborns like Ratt and W.A.S.P. spilled out into the courtyard and the street. Girls would arrive in shifts. One would be climbing out the window while another was coming in the door.
It was while playing at the Whisky one night that Motley Crue was discovered after a record scout noticed hundreds of kids waiting in line, clad in tight leather with high teased hair. The Crue was soon one of the biggest bands in America and the new kings of the Sunset Strip. “We’d get drunk, do crazy amounts of cocaine and walk the circuit in stiletto heels, stumbling all over the place,” Neil wrote. “The Sunset Strip was a cesspool of depravity.”
With the success of other hair bands like W.A.S.P., The L.A. Guns, and, later, Faster Pussycat and Poison, the Strip was soon teeming with aspiring glam rock stars and their adoring fans. Strip record stores like Licorice Pizza and Tower Records became important social gathering places for stars and teenage star-gazers alike.
“Tower Records… was where everybody went to get their records,” Martino says. “Everybody from Elton John to David Bowie to Van Halen, they were all in Tower Records. I saw all of them there, buying their own records. I remember seeing Valerie Bertinelli with her mother at Tower Records the week that ‘Jump!’ came out. They used to have on the wall all the number one singles. I remember she went up to the cover of the ‘Jump!’ 45 and turned it around to see Eddie’s face and left it that way.”
According to Martino, both Axl Rose and Slash did their time working at Tower Records before Guns N’ Roses took off, and they weren’t the only ones. “Every musician and struggling band worked at Tower Records,” she recalls. “It looked like a metal band when you walked in. The employees all looked like members of Motley Crue! They all had their own bands, and you would walk in and buy records, and they would hand you their band’s flyer and put it in your bag.”
The advertising continued into the Tower parking lot, another popular hangout. “You’d walk out from buying your records, and flyers were all over your cars—all metal bands,” Martino says. “They’re valuable now those fliers, but back then you either threw them away, or you just drove off with them on your car, and they flew off.”

The Strip followed the trends of the decade. “The ’70s were gritty,” Martino says. “Then the ’80s got very decadent.” Tattoo parlors were everywhere; Motley Crue loved their tattoo artist from Sunset Strip Tattoo so much, they brought him on tour.
On the weekends, the Strip was crowded with teenagers cruising up and down its 1.7 miles. “Headbangers would all go up and walk from Gazzarri’s. They’d walk up and down and up and down. It was like a party on the street. The ’60s was the hippie movement,” Martino says, laughing. “This was the hair band movement!”
Poison frontman Bret Michaels told Rolling Stone about the first time he and his Pennsylvania bandmates caught sight of the fabled stretch of Sunset. “When we finally pulled onto the Strip it was, ‘Holy shit!’” he recalled. “We’re driving past the Rainbow, Gazzarri’s, the Roxy, the Whisky, and there’s gotta be, like, 100,000 people walking around. And they all look like they’re in a band. For a bunch of small-town guys, that’s a lot to take in.”
Over at the venerable Rainbow, the scene had gone from the rock ‘n’ roll elite to a scene of glam metal stars and strivers. Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee remembered:
When the clubs began to close, we’d go to the Rainbow. The place was set up like a circle, with the coolest rockers and richest deviants sitting at the center tables. Guys had to be twenty-one to come into the club, but girls could be eighteen. The guys would sit at their regular spots and the girls would walk around the ring until they were called over to someone’s empty chair... Afterward, everyone would spill out into the parking lot: Randy Rhoads, Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist, would be hanging upside down from a tree screaming while junkies tried to score dope and everyone else tried to scam on girls.
No open space on the Strip was safe from the mayhem. “I saw so many people f*** on the lawns behind Gazzarri’s that I actually got bored of watching and started to throw empty beer cans at them,” Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy wrote in his autobiography Sex, Drugs, Ratt & Roll: My Life in Rock.
“We’d get drunk, do crazy amounts of cocaine and walk the circuit in stiletto heels, stumbling all over the place,” Motley Crue’s lead singer wrote in the band’s biography. “The Sunset Strip was a cesspool of depravity.”
There was also violence. Hot-headed and fueled by cocaine and alcohol, rock stars like the Motley Crue guys frequently got in brutal fights in both Strip clubs and parking lots. Amid all this madness, West Hollywood, and therefore the Sunset Strip, finally became a town.
“In 1984, a coalition of gay men, Russian Jews and the elderly, spurred by the imminent expiration of L.A. County’s rent control protections, successfully held a vote to officially incorporate the area as the City of West Hollywood, electing a city council with an openly gay majority and immediately passing a series of rent control measures to protect its longtime citizens,” according to the city of West Hollywood.
The era of glam metal would be the last gasp of lawlessness on the Sunset Strip. While the tragic 1982 drug overdose of John Belushi at Chateau Marmont had done little to pause the debauchery, the advent of the grunge movement and the senseless overdose of River Phoenix in front of The Viper Room in 1993 seemed to signal the end of an era.
Over the past 30 years, the Strip has become increasingly staid and upscale as rents have gone up and big business has taken over.
“I’m afraid it’s just becoming hotel row,” Martino says. “I’m very nervous about the future of Sunset Strip. I grew up off Sunset Strip. I still live off Sunset Strip. There are many ghosts on this boulevard. And I will not go anywhere. I’ll still be here. But I don’t go as often as I used to. There’s really not a destination. On a Friday night in the 1980s it was: ‘What do you want to do?’ ‘Let’s go to the Strip!’ I don’t think anybody does that today.”

Eight People I’d Like to Know Better!
I can count on less than five fingers how often this happens. Thanks, @beelzebugz!
1. Name / Alias
Northwestern (online alias). The nicknames variate with my screen name, and I answer to any, but my universal ones are NW and Westie.
2. Birthday
The Last Days of May (not saying which one publicly, and BOC gave me all the more reason!)
3. Zodiac Sign
Gemini. Though, I was born almost month premature, and should have been a Cancer, and people have said I show the Gemini/Cancer cusp emotional tendencies (really don't follow this to confirm for myself -I prefer MBTI)
4. Height
5′5″
5. Hobbies
Writing, researching bands, drawing, playing piano and viola, learning guitar over the last few months, figuring out songs by ear and analyzing the music theory to it (nerd!), being unofficial vet nurse to an elderly cat...
6. Favorite Colors
Teal and blue as stand-alones; red, black, silver, and purple in combination.
7. Favorite Books
Catch-22 grew on me. The first ten chapters were hard to get into because everyone was so crazy that it annoyed me, but by the end of the fifteenth, I felt for the main character so bad it hurt (I had to read it during a hell period at school). The second half made me laugh one chapter and cry the next -especially the first time when I was emotionally shot -and I just really like it. The Things They Carried was also good. There's something about war stories -realistic or fictional -that I really click with, analyzing each side and seeing where each comes from.
8. Last Song I Listened To
“Stillness of the Night” REO Speedwagon (it’s been stuck in my head since September ‘18!)
9. Last Film I Watched
Star Wars: A New Hope
10. Inspiration or Muse
The Hillstrand bros used to say things that would REALLY inspire me, and when I am actively working on my original works, my original characters kind of gather in my head and carry a cycle where once I get them going, they'll keep me going. Any musician can be a big muse to me too. The guys in Dokken and REO Speedwagon are especially strong with me lately. Jeff Pilson and Bruce Hall (both bassists) are some of the kindest human beings who always get me smiling, and watching interview clips of Neal Doughty gets the more snarky side of my mind going. I can't help but love him!
11. Dream Job
Realistic: Vet or Vet Tech, and perhaps a future author of another veterinary story series. I love animals, enjoy helping people/doing a bit of crisis management, and if I can use my writing hobby with it, all the better.
Unrealistic: Music historian. I already research so many bands that this would come as second nature rather than work (though, the main stuff that most would want to know is already documented, if biased sometimes when dealing with band drama). Because I’d eventually get depressed only researching and writing all the time, I’d have a day job as a vet nurse, or invent a business as a ‘pet ambulance driver’, for owners who are in rural areas outside cities and unable to drive to vets far away. Or for people who can't afford to take off work during the day, so they don't have to pay through the nose to go to an emergency clinic after-hours over something that needs attention but doesn't warrant that level of care or expense.
12. Meaning Behind Your URL
“northwest of insanity” -there are many reasons I’ve been jokingly asked if I’m a little bit insane, to which I say I’m level headed enough to push through a lot, but I don't deny lacking some degree of sanity. So I’m functioning slightly above and aside from full blown insanity -not entirely there, but close! And it incorporates a variation on Northwestern, which originated from when some of my cousins (big Italian family -there are lots) and I were big into Deadliest Catch (when it was still a good show). We had play nicknames after the boats, Kodiak, Time Bandit, Maverick, and Northwestern. “Northwestern” also later became the name of a fictional character in an original story series I wrote for one of my little cousins when he was four, and that character definitely had a major influence on who I am as a person now.
I tag...
I’m not sure -Any of my watchers and mutuals who want to do this and haven't already!
...okay @ray-rabies, @internationalfeel, @onstrangehighways -I don't think you guys have spoken against being tagged before, but again, only if you want to do it!
