Good day. Long day at work yesterday. I didn’t get home until 10:30. I made some phone calls. I was minutes away from dosing off on the sofa and then my friend Jeff called. He said, “G ‘N R” I said, what? He told me that Guns and Roses played at the MTV VMAs last night. I turned my TV on and they just started playing the show again. Axl was at the end of the show, the end of the show is 2:30am. I had to stay up, right? I left it on MTV and fell asleep on the sofa. I woke up at 2 am. I was out of it but I had enough sense to throw a tape in the VCR. Finally, at 7:30am I was able to see the return of Guns ‘n Roses.

Axl is back

I enjoyed it. It doesn’t feel like Guns ‘n Roses. When you change every member in the band except for one, you have to expect some change, ha ha. Axl looks different but I don’t look the same as I did 10 years ago either. I liked the new song they played. Good luck to them.

Another gloomy day in the city. They said we may see some sun this afternoon but I have my doubts. I was in the Hello Deli this morning and some old lady was in there listening to headphones. She made everyone in there listen to her headphones. “You want to hear something great, here, take these” she said. I avoided her like the plague and never made eye contact. I don’t like to play along with the odd people of the world. Anyway, various people listened and handed her the head phones back. She said, “That’s Celine Dion.” Wow.

On the bus ride in, we were merging into the Lincoln Tunnel. At this stage in the trip, I always like to look out the window at the people in their cars. Today, I saw a middle-aged man give the old “What the &**#, Come ON!” hand gesture. He’s driving his Lexus and getting upset because someone let another car in. Some old rich turd. Seeing that, makes me happy. Screw the rich, am I right people?!

Due to my late night, that’s all I can think of today — wait. Thanks to “Scott Henderson or Henderson-Scott.” He/She sent me a MP3 of the Missing Persons song I wanted to hear the other day. Thank you, that hit the spot this morning.

That is it. I just found out that I have Labor Day off. I’ll be back on Tuesday, September 3rd. Have a great weekend and a great holiday! God Bless America.
