Topanga Canyon

Topanga est un canyon dans la région de Los Angeles, en Californie dans les montagnes de Santa Monica. Le nom lui a été donné par les amérindiens qui occupaient la région, les Tongya[1] et signifierait « le lieu au-dessus ».

Dans les années 1960, le secteur attira beaucoup d'artistes, dont Neil Young, Woody Guthrie et d'autres. Charles Manson et sa « famille » occupèrent les lieux également avant les meurtres. Le canyon est resté une enclave pour les artistes et les musiciens de toutes sortes.

Une célèbre discothèque, le Topanga Corral, recevait à cette époque de nombreuses stars de la musique, comme Canned Heat, Derroll Adams, Emmylou Harris, Crazy Horse, Ramblin' Jack Elliott

La chanson de Billy Joel "Getting Closer" de 1986 album évoque le canyon : I'm a mark for every shyster from Topanga to Berlin.
John Phillips lui a dédié la chanson "Topanga canyon" sur son album "John, the wolfking of L.A.".
