This photo was taken right after Joan and I had this tremendous lunch at Dukes the coffee shop at the old Tropicana Motel in West Hollywood. We ate these massive hamburgers and then polished them off with frozen Snickers bars. Somewhere I have photos of the massive hamburgers!

In 1978 when Joan Jett and I were both teenagers she checked into The Tropicana Motel for an extended stay. We ate giant hamburgers in the coffee shop and watched John Wayne on the TV. While I was in awe of everything, I stood in the corner of her room taking photos.
