When I first moved to L.A. in 1976, i loved driving around and exploring, but what I remember more than anything else, was my first drive from Santa Monica to Malibu up PCH.
It was exhilarating, and nothing else ever came close. It’s still very vivid…the smell of the ocean, the beautiful hills, dolphins leaping up out of the water to play with the surfers….
So, Burt Bacharach’s song Pacific Coast Highway, is very special to me.
