The song says, “nobody walks in LA”. A more accurate statement would be, nobody knows how to deal with pedestrians in LA. As I was walking down the sidewalk in Culver City yesterday the occasional passer by seemed miffed anytime I strayed from the far right hand side of the sidewalk – they looked at me as if I was an out of control driver crossing the double yellow line and heading into oncoming traffic. I suppose in LA, even walking down the sidewalk adheres to the ubiquitous driving metaphors.
