“Pay Tribute to fallen rocker...”

On Sept. 3, 1970 at this, the home of fellow Canned Heat band mate Bob "The Bear" Hite, Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson overdosed on a hill behind the home. Some called it suicide, others an accident, regardless it was a terrible loss. The house has since been destroyed by a flood.

Classic rock fan? Pay your respects to Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson, the Canned Heat singer who died in 1970 at the age of 27 at his bandmate's house on Topanga Canyon Boulevard. You could also poke your head into the Inn of the Seventh Ray, supposedly the titular roadhouse in the classic Doors tune "Roadhouse Blues." http://fathomaway.com/guides/usa/los-angeles/itineraries/best-day-ever-topanga-canyon/
