Moody Food (2012)
“THE WHISKY A GO GO. Whew. It made the Mynah Bird seem like the Etobicoke Legion Hall where my dad drank draft beer on Saturday afternoons. The first time I walked though the door, with Christine, the night before we were supposed to take over centre stage ourselves, and saw the gyrating go-go dancers in the elevated steel cages, I thought, These people don’t need drugs—they’re freaks enough as it is. Actually, that’s what the Whisky’s star patrons were called, Vito and his Freaks.
Headed up by ...Vito himself, a fifty-something seasoned scene-maker with a long, pointy black beard, every night about twenty of L.A.’s most beautiful young hippie girls got decked out in white face paint, boa feathers, and antique see-through nighties and danced in wild, free-form fashion to whomever they deemed the most happening band in L.A. Management never charged them a cover. If Vito and his Freaks started coming to your shows, you and the club you were playing at had it made, the word immediately went out and you were undeniably it.MoreLess
