[kj] Item about Motorhead in NY Post page 6 gossip column

[Alexander Smith]

Yeah, it's ultimately just gossip-column space-filler, but it's rare  
that any anecdote involving our Lemmy doesn't provide big opportunity  
for laughs. Bless'im.

When my friend Tim was living in Silverlake, he used to quasi-date  
this girl in Hollywood who lived in the same run-down condo-complex  
that Lemmy lives in (right down a sloping street from the Rainbow  
Bar'n'Grill). I was somewhat incredulous when we stopped by to hear  
that he lived there -- until I saw his name listed on the buzzer ("I.  
Kilmister"). I was shocked. It was one of those endearingly shitty  
L.A. sorta places you see in movies like "Repo Man" and "Suburbia".  
The complex was built around a communal pool. Carol (the girl in  
question) said that Lemmy would often hang out around the pool  
wearing black speedos (!!!!), strumming an acoustic guitar. One time,  
Carol came out of her apartment and Lemmy spotted her from poolside,  
and busted into an impromptu rendition of Roy Orbison's "Pretty  
Woman." Not sure if it's a true story, but it always makes me laugh.
