Slash launches Sunset Strip Music Festival 

2008-06-27

The first-ever Sunset Strip Music Festival kicked off in Los Angeles last night (June 26) with a tribute to iconic club owners and a heavy dose of music. Slash, comedians Cheech and Chong and Michelle Phillips of '60s 'California Dreamin' crooners The Mamas and the Papas paid tribute to Lou Adler, Mario Maglieri and Elmer Valentine, owners and proprietors of legendary Sunset Strip establishments the Roxy, the Whisky A Go Go and the Rainbow Bar. "I moved into this neighbourhood when I was six years old," Slash told the crowd at the House Of Blues when paying tribute to the men. "I started making fake IDs when I was 15 or 16 so I could sneak into the Rainbow. I loved that place and it still maintains its original integrity today," he said.
