Jacqui Squatriglia and Chris Barnes, owner of Flaming Saddles, the gay Country / Western bar at 8811 Santa Monica Boulevard at Larrabee, announced its closing on Aug. Their lease is said to have been set to expire in November, but Maghame and Sattari were unable to negotiate a renewal with Overstreet. Rage was opened in 1983 by Robert Maghame and Saeed Sattari in a building at 8911 Santa Monica Blvd. Ron Madril, the manager of Rage, confirmed the closing. The latest blow to West Hollywood’s Boystown gay nightlife district is the closing of Rage, the gay bar at the northwest corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and San Vicente.
