SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2021 / Dear LL Cool J,
I, Leo Robin s grandson, sent you an open letter on February 2, 2021 via FedEx, more than a month ago, but assume that you never received it since I haven t heard back from you. I am enclosing it once more so you will better understand the unprecedented circumstances surrounding the long-standing mistake made by the Hollywood Walk of Fame more than 30 years ago. The 1990 Walk of Fame Committee awarded a star to lyricist Leo Robin but the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce never installed it. The Hollywood Chamber as well as the Walk of Fame Committee continue to be morally adrift in regard to this unprecedented situation with the star awarded to Robin but not installed. And they must recognize that they bear responsibility for this on-going moral injustice and take the steps to address it.

Looking back, the last large-scale events we attended last March sound other-worldly. Written By: Christa Lawler | ×

It was a band that holds the metaphorical key to the city that played one of the last large-scale events in this region before everything was locked down in mid-March 2020.
Wilco’s concert was at Symphony Hall and, according to reviewer Tony Bennett, opened with “Bright Leaves,” featured a solo by Nils Cline “at times playing speedy jazz-rock runs … and at other times letting loose with atonal smears of color and behind the bridge squalls,” and had a guest appearance from Low’s Alan Sparhawk, known friend of the band.
