Flea continued, “It’s a microcosm of LA. It transcends all cultural and ethnic and economic boundaries. It’s a beautiful place. You can find everybody in Denny’s. I was just there. There are all these beautiful Latino kids just coming from their prom, coming from a quinceanera. It’s a great place.”
He added, “You could go there at midnight. People bring their babies there at midnight, and you might say, ‘Well, they better take that baby home.’ You don’t know what they’re doing! You don’t know why that baby’s there. They might be locked out of their apartment. I know I’m locked out of mine!”
