Wow, that was fast

Well, dude, it's G'n'R.

I berated an acquaintance of mine for never having heard of November Rain. I yelled get off my lawn at him, sent him the link to the video, he said, yep, this is the first time I've heard this song, so I followed up with damn kids.

What the hell is wrong with these kids today. It was released in 92. In 94 I was listening to shit from 1970. I was 13. He's bloody 22.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

ETA: Dok, I actually could launch into a 3 paragraph thing here, but I'm also simultaneously practicing a solo. So. I'll store it up.

G'n'R's legacy (in terms of what younger generations will be familiar with) is mostly going to be Appetite for Destruction.

Pity. It's an excellent song.

Goes without saying :)


BTW one I found particularly strong from the pics on HuffPo, were people that taped dollar bills over their mouths. Whatever the symbolism (I bet you can make something up), it's a powerful image.

It will probably also give you herpes or some other mouf disease, but it's for the good cause.

I'm unlikely to go even though there is one nearby (Boston) because as i have gotten old I find I dislike leaving my house.

Next step, manifesto!

I have written my manifesto using this as my guideline.

======

Stand up to the Criminals on Wall Street

We have had enough!

We have too long watched as bankers and financiers have played games with our money, our homes, and our lives.

This must stop today.

We must fight.

The robber barons of the 19th Century are back and are willing to do anything, step over any moral line, sell you and your children as chattel so long as it makes them a buck.

End.

Wall Street.

Corruption.

We must make the 1% that controls the majority of the country's wealth pay their fair share.

By raising taxes on people who earn more than they need to live on.

By finding ways to keep working Americans in their homes.

By prosecuting the criminals whose financial charades brought our economy to the brink of ruin.

We were promised that if we worked hard we could not only live good comfortable lives but also pass onto our children the means to do even better than we ourselves had done; we want that promise back.

Ninty-nine.

Don't forget what is probably the most important aspect: Ending corporate political contributions and lobbying.
"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."
