The Recreational Vehicle Industry Association estimates that there are over 7.2 million RVs currently on the road, and about 1 million of these are occupied by full time RVers, meaning drivers without a permanent address. This phenomena underscores a cultural shift away from permanence to a more nomadic lifestyle dependent on a flexible infrastructure of cellular phones and satellite Internet, as well as a growing network of RV parks catering to a mobile populace. The full time RVer is not limited to the stereotypical senior citizen, it is a diverse group of drivers, many employed in normal jobs but preferring the independence, flexibility of a mobile residency.
The effect of this new mobile class is now being felt in the California cities of Venice, Santa Monica, and West Los Angeles, which have become popular magnets for campers seeking the comforts of coastal living. Boasting some of the most expensive real estate in the United States, these coastal cities have priced out most people from purchasing property in the vicinity of the bleach. However, living within blocks of the beach is still a possibility for the average person with an RV. This economic dichotomy has made Los Angeles one of the first cities to have to grapple with the desire of some of its residents to live on the streets full time, in their automobiles. Electric Avenue in Venice is one such street, with free parking available amongst the expensive new artist lofts; it is frequently occupied by up to half a dozen RVs each night.

It still rocks the party when I play it out.

there's a line in this song that sounds like "deep in my heart i abhor ya" which always seemed like an awesome thing to say, but some lyrics websites say that it's "i'm a warrior" which one is it?
― velko, Friday, 29 August 2008 05:36 (fifteen years ago) link
sounds like "deep in my heart I am warrior" since he mentions working hard like a soldier in the beginning of the verse
― El Tomboto, Friday, 29 August 2008 05:39 (fifteen years ago) link
that makes sense, still a badass song
― velko, Friday, 29 August 2008 05:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Damn, I always thought it was 'abhor ya' too
― moley, Friday, 29 August 2008 06:22 (fifteen years ago) link
sounds wayyyy more like "abhor ya"
― ledge, Friday, 29 August 2008 08:19 (fifteen years ago) link
for one thing a brit would never pronounce it "war-ya"
― ledge, Friday, 29 August 2008 08:20 (fifteen years ago) link
Not that Eddy Grant is a Brit.
I've always heard it as "abhor ya" in the same way that he sings "you're a bastard, just like Pharaoh" on "War Party" rather than "you're a bad star."

well I don't know what's on his passport but he's lived here long enough to have more than a hint of britspeak.
― ledge, Friday, 29 August 2008 08:32 (fifteen years ago) link
He's not saying "bastard"?!

One of my friends live on Electric Avenue, and another lives in a house in Hackney owned by Eddie Grant! What are the chances...

if you're going to go through the trouble rocking all the way down to electric avenue, I don't think you need to take it any higher.

So many 80s videos featured someone standing up only to FALL THROUGH THE WATER FLOOR.
OUT ON THE PLAYGROUND.
And Vienna's Calling.

Grindcore band Anal Cunt covered the beginning of the song on track "Eddy Grant" from their 1994 album Everyone Should Be Killed.
