There are few hangs I enjoy more than spending the afternoon at the pawnshop in #<\/span>Detroit<\/span><\/span><\/a> owned by my great pal, Les Gold. Not just because I was obsessed with Hardcore Pawn, the reality show that featured him, his family, and the shop for years. And not just because the building that American Jewelry and Loan<\/a> is located in was the bowling alley on 8 Mile that I hung out at growing up. And not even just because Les and his wife Lili make the best brunch and holiday spreads in the world, regularly indulging my smorgasbord jones. I could think of at least ten more \u201cnot just becauses\u201d but I will sum it up that I just love Les and even enjoy his constant lectures about how much money I should be making, which I suppose would be true were I a pawnbroker and not a songwriter who spent way too much of her career writing on spec. <\/span><\/p>\n
