I’m curbing my own enthusiasm here as I get excited for the return of Larry David to our screens in what I’m calling The Lar Angeles Story.
Larry David, the curmudgeon for our times, paints high-end LA life with a brush stroke that is unparalleled.
Now having brushed up against high rollers there, in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica I have had some experience here.
But New Yorker Larry brings most of his angst upon himself.
By not clueing into the idiosyncratic LA way of life.
Although he has a point about pig parking where drivers leave bigs spaces between cars when parking, a gag he takes over on holiday to Italy.
A natural in LA
But while New Yorkers are all about the angle in LA it’s the image.
And I proved a natural when I availed of the hair dye table.
Down in Huntington Beach at the Snoop Dogg beach party.
Where I purpled up and hit the zeitgeist when Natasha Bedingfield played for us back in Anaheim.
And she picked me out from stage as she played a rockin’ version of Prince‘s Purple Rain which the Great Man would look down proudly on.
While she doubled down on her compliment later at our meet and greet.
Star of David
Not that I’d want to tell Larry David how to act and interact…
He is surrounded by more stars than the Walk of Fame in Hollywood.
Like the rest of you I’ll just sit back and smile at his efforts on Sunday.
And remember much of The Lar Angeles Story is ad-libbed.
And look forward to getting back out there later this year.
