TV Confidential with Ed Robertson · Aug 26, 2026 · 8m

TVC 746.2: Richard Lefkowitz, author of Welcome to Fabulous Angeles, talks to Ed about why Van Halen, the 1978 debut album by Van Halen, is the quintessential L.A. album; why "The Fuse" and many other songs by Jackson Browne capture the vibe and imagery of L.A.; and why the murder of actor Sal Mineo in 1976 hit close to home for Richard in many ways.
