COOL PEOPLE

I thought Calendar’s article about the renaissance of the L.A. club scene was really cool (“Renaissance After Hours,” by Steve Hochman and Jeff Spurrier, April 5).

I take issue with the White Trash au Go Go’s owner’s statement that there are not enough cool people in L.A. to have a club for 2,000.

There are no cool people in L.A. period.

Well, OK, there are four cool people in L.A.: Frank Zappa, Brian Wilson, Jack Nicholson and Smokey Robinson.

The problem with L.A. is that it is too trendy to produce cool. Coolness by definition is being true to your vision. It’s difficult to be cool when there is so much brown smog clouding your vision.
