Happy Birthday, Axl Rose!

Confetti Drop on Axl Rose in his last Las Vegas show on 11-24-2012

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest musicians of all time — Axl Rose. He turns 51 today.  He has an extremely unique voice and you can learn more about his colossal vocal range here.

Guns n’ Roses Mexico FB fan page writes:

Hoy en el cumpleaños número 51 de nuestro vocalista, muchos se hacen la pregunta, ¿por qué Axl Rose es considerado el frontman más versátil de la historia y uno de los mejores dentro de la misma? bien, este video lo explica a la perfección, desde los agudos clásicos en él, hasta los graves que tanto nos deleitan. Enjoy.

I will never ever forget watching that Welcome to the Jungle video back when MTV had their top music video countdown I’d  watch religiously.

Back in the day, my mom used to think Heavy Metal and Hard Rock was “devil” music and she would forbid me to see Axl in his tight black leather pants moving sensuously to his own music. (I know TMI, right?) Ha!  In fact,  I used to hide my rock cassette tapes from her after she found one of my Alice Cooper tapes and threw it in the trash. I had a limited budget with my part-time job back then so I would have  to hide my

Music Icon and Legend Axl Rose

music in my car or in my high school locker because it sucked having to replace them.

One day … my mom left the house to pay bills and/or run errands, and when I heard her car leave … I switched the channel to MTV.  I sat right smack in front of the tele and watched rocker Axl in his Welcome to the Jungle music video with his crazy ratted out hair, that crucifix around his neck with bad boy tattoos on his arms.   My mom then walks into the living room (says she forgot something) and goes ballistic on me.  She freakin’ called the cable company and had MTV removed and I couldn’t watch MTV anymore!  Can you believe that shit?!

No worries…where there was a will, there was a way.  I had to skip on over to my neighbor’s house and watch the MTV countdown there.  It just took a little adjusting to my after school schedule where I would hurry up and do my chores and then go watch the countdown across the street.

Yeah…I’m a bit of a Rocker girl –  ¿Y Que?

Here’s to Axl….a forever favorite:

GOP Birther Donald Trump is Paranoid of Gary Johnson’s “L” Libertarian Factor in the Presidential Race

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012

First of all, a vote for Gary Johnson is a vote for Gary Johnson, but nativists and birthers are scared to death of the “L” Libertarian factor and how it will affect GOP races across the nation.  What is it with people who are concerned about how others CHOOSE to vote?  We each have the free will born right to vote however the hell we feel, and those who say otherwise are merely afraid that their candidate of choice is not strong enough to win on their own merit and accord.  There is NO SUCH THING AS A WASTED VOTE as long as the individual believes in the candidate’s platform!

More importantly, if Gary Johnson receives at least 5% of the popular vote, the Libertarian Party will be eligible for Presidential funding in 2016.

I wrote about that here:

 

2016 Matching Funds an incentive for Libertarian – Republican voters to vote for Gary Johnson this year

 

More importantly, I am all about punishing the 2 major party system since both major parties have failed the American people with their partisanship. Tea Party people are the worst with their obstructionism in my view, and it is high time we work on methods that will bring our nation together and instead of the divisiveness the 2 major parties bring along with their fringe groups.  Our Nation has already experienced a Civil War, and we don’t need another one

Personally, I’m an independent voter for life, and plan on staying an independent voter who will cast my vote based on the person who is running for office — and not necessarily a Party.

Below is the paranoid tweet from Donald Trump who wants to bring our Nation back to the Ice Ages and archaic belief systems:
