It is, quite simply, the best record store in America. You can find the most obscure CDs here, as well as an incredibly large selection of vinyl. I can spend an entire Sunday afternoon thumbing through row after row of discs and never walk away without music to add to my collection.

The Clive Davis Theater is my favorite part of the GRAMMY Museum. Not only is it an intimate, state-of-the-art music venue — the best in L.A .— but it’s here where we produce our “Evening With…” series. Imagine “Inside The Actor’s Studio” meets “MTV Unplugged” — that’s what “An Evening With…” is all about. Everyone from Lady Gaga to Ringo Starr has performed here.

Although I don’t always have the time to catch a few waves, when I do, I make it to Malibu, one of the great surfing spots in southern California. For longboarders like me, the waves break just right for long, fun rides.

You can’t go wrong at L.A. LIVE. Professional sports? It has the Lakers, Clippers, Sparks, and Kings. Award shows? How about the GRAMMYS, the Emmys and so many more. Clubs? Concerts? Restaurants? It’s enough to fill out a weekend a couple of times a month.
