i left most of the G’N’R loving to sister #2 and jodi hanson, being as i was much much too busy getting my groove on to the likes of limited warranty, the jets, and janet jackson. even so, i admit that on many an occassion i was known to jump onto the coffee table and swivel a hip while Axl screeched out “Welcome to the Jungle.”

that must be why, i could not seem to take my eyes off the New York Times’ exhaustive look at “Chinese Democracy”, the unreleased G’N’R album and possibly the most expensive record never made.
