Who says Downtown L.A. is no fun?

The world is falling apart, banks are collapsing, the government is bailing them out, and our real estate market is ‘crippled.’ Which means it’s time for a harmless Friday diversion. Rock ‘N Roll chicks in bikinis. On the sidewalk. With fireworks.

What’s the point? A large number of you wrote in defense of downtown L.A.,and the blogger palewire let me know there really is fun street life downtown. Here’s what happened the other night: ‘So I’m out on a casual stroll in downtown LA the other night, and what do I bump into? If you guessed an illegal rock show put on by a group of chicks armed with fireworks and dressed in bikinis, you guessed right.’

See the same band in a previous street concert here, on YouTube.

My two cents: If Manhattan had street life like this, Eliot Spitzer would still be governor.

The band is Josh Taylor’s Friends Forever.

Now, let loose with your comments, and enjoy the diversion, because it’s back to gloom and doom after this.
