Brief photo essay in LA Times today about the impending demolition of the Carpenter's Downey, Ca. home (Downey is between LA and Long Beach, a little east). Also noted is that the Carpenters named two apartment buildings they owned (also in Downey) after "Close to You" and "Only Just Begun." I am pretty sure that is the least rock and roll thing I have ever heard about the Carpenters, which is saying a lot. And don't even mention Karen's "victory" over John Bonham in the 70s Playboy best rock drummer readers' poll. Please.
