Diana Charlotte Hart-Garcia


Where are you from?
I was born in St. Louis, Missouri, now I live in a private community known as Horsethief Canyon, in what used to be a small town called Corona CA. 

me and my amazing husband

Please tell us a little about yourself (job, hobbies, etc.):
I am a wife, a mother of 3 and I have 4 cats who think they rule my world. I am a very simple down to earth person with a very unique way of thinking. I have fun at anything I do but, I have a very serious bitchy side as well. My hobbies include, softball (which I can no longer play) I love music of all kinds, dancing, camping, cooking and I collect frogs. I work from home now so I spend a lot of time on Myspace. Not sure if that is a hobby or an addiction. I used to spend a lot of time in Hollywood partying it up with 80's rock stars and roaming Sunset Strip, road trips and lots of booze! Now I stay home feed my cats, work, clean and watch CSI on a daily basis. I totally enjoy the domestic life again, but I am still the Crazy Bighaired Gooch! Professionally I am an independent contractor and I work as a Loan Consultant for a Mortgage Banker/Broker (Shameless plug for  Loangodiss@aol.com )( Murray Mortgage).

How did you get into L.A. Guns?
It was back in 1988, My ex Husband has the cassette in our old  Green Ford LTD, and I heard the song Bitch is Back. I then adopted that as my theme song. We used to spend our Saturday nights watching Head Bangers Ball and I then became an even bigger fan because I thought Tracii was an amazing Geetar player! In 1998 we went to see LAG and Bang Tango at a free show at Pharoah's Lost Kingdom. After a long ass day at work and weather in the 100 degree factor, Tracii must have felt sorry for us as we melted in the front row rocking our little hearts out. He brought us both a bottle of water and I decided at that very moment I would dedicate my life to this band. ( Not really but, I was so worthy at that moment and was suffering from heat exhaustion).

What is your favorite song/album?
I love all of the music. The 1st album will always have a special place in my heart since it has my theme song. I remember cruising in my Honda and both of my kids in the back seat singing Sex Action! lol. My son thought it said SANG SATSHO! Whatever that is! But it was truly funny to see him sing it at the top of his lungs. Each and every album has a special place because it probably got me through or was a part of some life experience I was going through at one time or another.

Now tell us your favorite L.A. Guns story/memory, please:
Well for the most part I have to plead the 5th to this question. At one point in time I became a den mother/groupie and I use this term very lightly. So for some very generic good times I have had with this band. Most every concert we saw from 1998 on, from them being heckled by Pick Mooch, breaking their concentration as I whipped out my Billy Bob teeth, giving Tracii his Jimmy Page pics, Tracii signing my daughters guitar for her 12th birthday, all the birthday parties, the after parties, the jam nights at the Catclub, moon walking in the parking lot behind the Whiskey, hummus and pita at Swingers, breakfast at Mel's, Matzah Ball soup at Jerry's, the Vegas road trips, falling asleep in Pinky's parking lot while I breathed in bus exhaust, drinking wine and listening to jazz/blues with Steve on the bus, the speeding tickets I have collected from road trips,the time Tracii called my house and my sister thought it was a prank call, most of all the great friend I have met on this forum and in person, the pudding fights, anal eaze, frozen trout, dancing banana's. This band and forum actually got me through a rough stage in my life when I went through my divorce and the continued friendships I made have been awesome, and are truly cherished. Ok enough SAP!

What other bands do you like?
I love all music, anything from the 80's classic rock, some country, punk, blues, jazz, dance, rap, metal. There isn't much I don't like except that death metal stuff my son listens to. That gives me a headache!


Any famous last words? I doubt seriously my words will be famous and however I do love having the  last words. I have had a lot of fun with this band, and truly consider them my friends. Unfortunately due to the respect I have for them this questionnaire had to be kept as a "PG" rating lol. Who knows maybe I will write a book one day. "Tales from the Bus" "LA Guns, the Men the Music the OMG I did not just see that" "The Frozen Trout Years"

Peace,
I love you all, thank you for this Honor. It's about Freakin Time!
