Oh wait... I agree with your overall sentiment, but this line was hilarious juxtaposed with your recommended choice of entertainment, the Pussycat Dolls:

I was amazed. Its like Disneyland came in and sanitized it for mass consumption. Sterilized is more like it. One can't help being impressed driving into the area. Stylized angels all over, big sweeping chromey things, but then reality sets in. Its sterile, its fabricated, its NOT LA. What I really hate is the signs all over that tell you how to behave. As if a rowdy crowd in line for a concert at Nokia will follow. They don't and nothing happened. Not that I cared, it was festive rowdy not dangerous rowdy. http://www.flickr.com/photos/frazgo/3032727930/in/set-72157603571147627/ LA Live – I’ve been there 3X over the last month. I was amazed.
