She Had to Leave Los Angeles Orange County

Exene Cervenka is having a garage an estate sale this weekend in Santa Ana(!). The singer, most famous for her work in the seminal L.A. punk band X, says she is moving to Austin, Texas, and doesn't want to drag all her stuff along with her. Rolling Stone has all the crazy details HERE.

UPDATE: Oh, I somehow missed this part. I follow her on Twitter and she's one of those people like my mom who won't come out and say they're a Republican, but then they make these vague-but-crazy statements that make you say ... wait a minute here. Well, now she's coming out with it!

"The other reason I'm moving, if the creek don't rise, is that when I moved to California in 1976, Jerry Brown was governor. It was barefoot hippie girls, Hell's Angels on the Sunset Strip, East L.A. lowriders, the ocean and nature. It was this fabulous incredible place about freedom. Now when I think about California, I think of a liberal oppressive police state and regulations and taxes and fees. I'd rather go someplace and have my own little place out on the edge of town. I'm a country girl at heart. It makes me happy when I see people in Texas open-carrying. It makes me feel safe. I'm not even a gun owner, but I'd like to see a gun rack in every pickup truck, like my boyfriend had when I was fifteen years old in Florida. An armed society is a polite society."

Sounds like she'd fit in in any city in Texas EXCEPT Austin.
