Worst Celebrity encounter in Hollywood plus Inner City Exposure in Denver

My 20 year relationship (mostly platonic) with Joseph Runningfox changed over the course of the years.  From going to his theatrical director to long time friend with bumps in both of our lives.  We have both since gone through recovery and he reignited his career.

Ben brings his music tastes to light.  We play Ben's favorite rap songs.  One is Mortal Kombat by XRaided; the other is by Brotha Lynch Ung - "Refuse to Live." and what meaning it had in his life and interpretation.  We then engage in a heavy discussion on how 2 of us lived in inner city gang warfare in Denver and Boyle Heights and were subject to police scrutiny.
