The Starwood was the best place to hook up with someone. If you could not connect with someone there, you had one last chance over at Meat Rack in the parking lot of the Rainbow Bar & Grill at 2am. After 3am Meat Rack was done and you were all alone for the evening.
Hooking up with someone at The Starwood was only half the fun as the place was loaded with rock and roll stars all the time. On this one evening Robert Plant dropped by to see Kim Flowley and his band, The Runaways. That is our pal Michael Des Barres hanging with Plant.
Plant was thrilled with his custom Runaways t shirt, a gift from photographer Richard Creamer. This photo really struck a nerve and was all over the world.
Funny how we still remember the smell of the Starwood. Kind of a combination of puke and piss. We will never forget those odors!
