"Don't know of any album of that title, "L.A. Blues" is the
final, very cacaphonous, track on their FUNHOUSE album. That
Ellroy himself hates rock music does not matter, btw, as few
would agree that this, uh, piece even qualifies as music at
all. I'm not knocking it though -- I actually like it a lot,
and that goes for Ellroy's novel too."
"LA Blues" is the white acid rock equivalent of bebop.
Another form pshawed in it's time. Though, in truth, I would
say "Down On the Street" and especially "Dirt" would be my
idea of HB Stooges. "LA Blues," like "European Son" on the
great VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO album is a particular
expression of angst that now seems dated.
