The real protagonist was LA itself, revealed through movement, light, and the constant hum of KHJ Boss Radio. During 2017–2019, I traveled to Fresno for work from Indianapolis landing every Monday morning and returning home every Friday night.  It was surprisingly comfortable and seemed the California of Deme.  Fresno felt like it hadn't moved forward it was as if it was stuck in 1968.  KYNO still played the Boss Radio format with a playlist from the 60s to early 70s.   The palm trees, desert heat, sunshine and buildings all felt vintage.  I was ...
