    Episode 9 – Gregory Bojorquez

    Photographer Gregory Bojorquez has had some seminal moments in his life, one of which landed his work on the front page of the LA Times, as well as a hundred other news outlets around the world. It was December, 2011. On his way to the bank, Gregory found himself caught in the crossfire of a deadly shootout between LAPD and a lone gunman at the corner of Sunset & Vine in Hollywood. Instinctively, Gregory ducked for cover, drew out his camera, and began capturing all the horror as Police shot the gunman dead. The series of photographs went on to be part of a collection named .45 Blank and Gregory went on to have his name further solidified as one of the most talented, unique, and important photographers ever to come out of the city of Los Angeles. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a big After Hours welcome to Mr. Gregory Bojorquez. The guy … he goes for his gun all of a sudden … he acts like he’s gonna draw and the cop was right there and I just said, “Shoot him!” Gregory Bojorquez Gregory Bojorquez Discusses: * The famous Hollywood & Vine shootout * The rise of amateur photography via smartphones * Shoots he regrets * Shooting in his neighborhood of East L.A. * Getting discovered * Becoming a celebrity photographer * Shooting Nicholson Gardens in L.A. * Shooting the MacArthur Park Hot Dog Wars * Racism in photography * Shooting Kobe Bryant * Shooting Outkast * Shooting 50 Cent * Shooting Oliver Stone * Shooting David Bowie * Shooting Kobe Bryant * Shooting the famous Alejandra in Boots * The Power House Bar in Hollywood * Shooting Wolf & Duck * Tattoos * Gallery exhibitions https://www.instagram.com/p/_7WReLqmUl/ Links Gregory Bojorquez - Official site Gregory Bojorquez - Twitter Gregory Bojorquez - Instagram Gregory Bojorquez - Facebook The Photography of Gregory Bojorquez - L.A.

    Episode 006: Keith Morris

    Keith Morris is a punk rock icon who has influenced everyone from Green Day to Nirvana. A boisterous kid from Hermosa Beach, who wanted nothing more than to sidestep inheriting his father's bait and tackle empire, Keith helped launch the hardcore punk movement that steamrolled through Southern California in the late '70s, as lead vocalist and founding member of Black Flag and The Circle Jerks. In between creating a new genre of music and helping define an era, Keith Morris has played with everyone from Chuck Berry to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, not to mention surviving drug and alcohol abuse, diabetes, and a suicide attempt on the Santa Monica Freeway. Punk rock means many things: a musical genre, a lifestyle, an attitude—Keith Morris personifies them all. Enjoy this after hours conversation with the man himself. The owner of Mississippi Nights said to me, ‘When Chuck Berry left, he said that you are one of the greatest rock n roll bands he has ever seen.’ You’re not gonna get a higher compliment than that.Keith Morris Keith Morris Discusses: * Growing up in Hermosa Beach * Spying on The Doors * Early exposure to music * Buying his first-ever album * Early concerts * Playing with Chuck Berry * Getting into punk rock * Black Flag * The early L.A. punk scene * Fear * The Decline of Western Civilization * Group Sex * Greg Hetson * Songwriting * Signing with Mercury Records * Off! * FLAG * Rock t-shirts * Being in the Red Hot Chili Peppers * Attempted suicide Links Keith Morris - Facebook Keith Morris - YouTube Black Flag - YouTube Circle Jerks - YouTube The Decline of Western Civilization - Amazon

    Episode 005: Bruce Witkin

    In 2007, Johnny Depp said of Bruce Witkin: “This guy is someone I've known for 30 years. He's a brother. We worked in bands together, we were on the road together, we lived together.” One of those bands was The Kids, which Bruce started in Florida back in 1978, and with whom he and Johnny would move out to L.A. with seeking fame and fortune. Cut to almost 40 years later and Bruce and Johnny are in another band together, a little rock supergroup called the Hollywood Vampires, featuring Joe Perry, Matt Sorum, and Alice Cooper. In between The Kids and The Vampires, Bruce has worked with everyone from Paul McCartney to Marilyn Manson, as well as producing movie soundtracks like The Lone Ranger, The Rum Diary, and Sweeney Todd, for which he was nominated for a Grammy. He’s one of the baddest musicians in L.A. and a pretty mean poker player. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this (very smokey) After Hours conversation with Mr. Bruce Witkin. Somebody pointed out to me there’s all these photos with Johnny, but when there’s one with me and him in it, he has a different smile on his face.Bruce Witkin Bruce Witkin Discusses: * Leaving the Bronx for Miami * Playing in The Kids with Johnny Depp * Playing in the Hollywood Vampires * Touring with Adam Ant and Vanessa Paradis * Working with Paul McCartney * Working with Marilyn Manson * Working on Jiminy Glick in Lalawood * Working on Sweeney Todd * The Glam Skanks * Sheila Witkin * The South Florida music scene of the ‘70s and ‘80s * Being nominated—and playing—The Grammys * Matt Sorum and Duff McKagan * Living on Nicolas Cage’s yacht with Johnny Depp * Flux * Unison Music * Johnny Depp’s band “P” * Hollywood Vampires’s new album * Post traumatic tour depression * Looking back * College * Tighty Whities band Gallery a href='https://www.afterhourspodcast.
