CHEECH MARIN

Actually I’m looking forward to the opening of the Eli Broad wing at LACMA in March, and also we’re doing a Chicano show at LACMA in June -- I’m one of the people behind it -- and that will be both the classic Chicano artists from L.A. and up-and-coming Chicano artists. Also, because I have a girlfriend who’s a classical pianist, I’m looking forward to the season at Los Angeles Opera. My girlfriend’s name, incidentally, is Natasha Rubin, and she and her friend Maria Gamina are also doing a show at LACMA in June, called “Double Sharp.” Two beautiful Russian girls playing piano -- who could ask for anything more?
