Finished mulching the 3 renovated beds today.  They really pop now.  They are on display Saturday.  Few plants left to find and I may want to add some edging but they are basically done.  I need the maintenance books for each bed and the educational signage to go up and the project is finished.

The deans from the university are coming Monday and will tour our food production gardens.  They get a half hour to see the gardens so were focusing in on their theme for the year.

Marsha has been missing more things saying she doesn't feel well.  She sounds good on the phone though.

On top of the $2,000 to fix the car, the dealer has discovered a coolant leak for another $1000 and an oil leak for $2000.     Stopped by the garage I to get their estimate.  He agrees the coolant leak has to get fixed but I can live with a car that leaks oil.  He'll let me know tomorrow what they will charge.  When did car repairs get so expensive?  I'm good at identifying the issue and pretty sure I could have replaced some of these parts back in the day when they gave you room to work on an engine.  You practically have to take the engine apart to get at things these days.

Damn it, mom got the stomach flu.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought it was something new
Please erase the thread if that is possible

I hope someone figures out a way to leak the Hur audio of President Biden's special counsel interview 

In the past 30 years of this band, roster has undergone some serious changes.  There is one common denominator.  And he calls the shots.

Amongst all those folks that have been in this band in some capacity over those 30 years...they all seem to be able to release things once they get away from his control.  That can't be an accident.

I don't claim to know what goes through the man's head.  I know I would not want to get into a discussion armed with the last 3 decades of his career and argue with a straight face the man is a creative workaholic.

But you can't compare them.


For example, no one expects a Keith Richards solo project to be like the Stones. And that's ok. He probably has certain freedoms because he doesn't have to take into account that it's for the Rolling Stones audience etc. Same goes for any solo or side project.

Did you listen to Max Creeps? Duff didn't use his own name to put that out. Because it doesn't necessarily fit with what he does as a solo artist. He does his solo records and doesn't have to think about whether or not all GN'R fans will like it.



A GN'R song/album will have certain expectations tied to it. That's just how it is. Does this mean it's a reason why they can't release new music? No. But it means comparing a GN'R release to solo projects isn't exactly a fair comparison.

Maybe some are just now discovering the song...

You guys ever see those "reaction" videos on YouTube of people hearing songs or bands for the first time?  Do you ever believe them?

Am I truly supposed to believe you have NEVER heard 'Welcome To The Jungle'?  Have you never been to a sporting event?

They were fun the first few times. Now it just seems kinda fake as you pointed out.

Unless it's kids who probably don't listen to a certain genre...

Maybe you didn't hear about it before since it's an unofficial release.

These kinds of compilations used to be around in the days of bootlegs....

I found out about the compilation of live covers by GNR yesterday. I find it very interesting and surprising, since I haven't heard about this before... It is really nice to hear the whole selected bunch of covers before '95 era. It takes me back to my childhood

believe it or not, some kids will discover Guns N'Roses in 2024.

and some others, The Beatles.

incredible, right? but amazing time for them

But musicians, creative people by nature, have not produced one new song in 8 years.  And, I'm sorry, "how do you know they haven't" is just a coping mechanism.  It does not advance the conversation forward, frankly.

both Duff & Slash wrote songs for themselves in this period of time, so I don't know why you assume they didn't in GNR context.

we wouldn't ask you the question if you didn't repeatedly pulling things out of your ass, frankly.
