A megalopolis in the desert, a universe in itself that speaks a host of languages and embodies just as many contradictions: a Republican territory that's home to Underground culture, Hollywood and the Beat generation, Charles Manson and Marilyn Manson, a hotchpotch of languages, dialects and peoples.
