LA Fires destroy Betty & Bob's home / studio

Post by Forum Admin »

I wish to highlight that this SOS Podcast was recorded before Christmas, and that the very sad news is that Betty & Bob's home in Pacific Palisades has been gutted totally by the ongoing LA wildfires, including the destruction of Bob's historic SSL-equipped Mix This! home studio where he mixed so many classic rock and pop hits. Check out these SOS interviews:

The loss is both a personal and cultural tragedy beyond belief, and all at SOS offer their condolences to Betty & Bob for their loss but most importantly to all other Los Angelenos who have suffered from this apocalyptic incident.

There's a terrifically stoic and optimistic interview with Bob by the L.A. Times newspaper about the tragedy here:

That reads like the words of someone who's had a year to get used to things, not just a couple of days. And so much of his concern is for the rest of the community. Such a shame.
