.... just do what actor James Arness did - crank Hawaiian War Chant really loud.

excerpted from "Laid Bare - A Memoir of Wrecked Lives and the Hollywood Death Trip" by John Gilmore (1997 Amok Books) (I've posted this before, but it is worth repeating)

"Cecilia, a young Hungarian dancer and Freedom Fighter, was living with me in an apartment on Beachwood, above Gunsmoke's James Arness, whose marriage had just busted apart. Jim was jumping girls downstairs while loudly playing the "Hawaiian War Chant." The girls were not the quiet Miss Kitty types, and their cries went on half the night. It didn't bother Cecilia, who was pregnant with my child - she'd sleep through the noise while I'd lay there wondering where my pending parenthood on a shoestring budget would lead."
