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

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Had no idea Lemmy lived in So. Cal. For some reason he doesn't seem the 
type. But neither does Glenn Danzig and apparently he lives there now. 
And also, I don't know much about Lemmy's life. I just always pictured 
him in seedy London bars or something.
