DON DOKKEN AND HIS LITTLE RED CORVETTES
You can spot Don Dokken’s house a hundred miles away. It’s the one with no shutters and lotsa broken shingles, and in the driveway are five or six late ’60s and mid-70’s model Corvettes which the rocker regularly works on. If the walls of this Manhattan Beach abode could talk, they’d tell you of the countless ’60s surf bands and ’70s metal bands who rehearsed and partied there.

You can spot Don Dokken’s house a hundred miles away. It’s the one with no shutters and lotsa broken shingles, and in the driveway are five or six late ’60s and mid-70’s model Corvettes which the rocker regularly works on. If the walls of this Manhattan Beach abode could talk, they’d tell you of the countless ’60s surf bands and ’70s metal bands who rehearsed and partied there. The place has seen everyone from surf legend Dick Dale to Ratt’s Juan Croucier (who was in an early incarnation of Dokken) walk in its door, pop the top of a brew and strum a guitar. It’s a wonder that a “rock house” such as this one could ever become a real home—even to a rock star—but Dokken’s shaping the place rather well in his spare time. And if all else fails, he could always make money on the house by renting it out for a wine cooler commercial!
