The rockstar celebrity who was once an angel-face criminal ET alien is now a fat ginger.
We just came out with "The General"
Now Lehra H. can rest in peace. The likelihood of GN'R producing another hit were, we said years ago, about as likely as Chinese Democracy, the name of their album, ever coming to fruition. Pres. Xi won't stand for it! Axl Rose (who now looks like a young, thin Benny Hill) is a pale skeleton in a wig held on with a big bandana, ala Sebastian Bach. Long in the tooth, they're older than the Stones -- but much better players thanks to Slash lending the band his magic. Somehow Rose's throat healed and he can scream and hold notes. It's amazing. We thought this had to be an unreleased gem from back in the Use Your Illusion days, but it's new.
Perhaps, the new Guns n' Roses album
LYRICS: Perhaps I was wrong/ When I didn’t see you, hey, hey/ Perhaps I was wrong, hey/ When I don’t believe you/ But how would I know how it feels/ Or what it takes to be you/ I’ve been so upset/ Harboring this hate for days/ Hey, my sense of rejection/ Hey, hey/ Is no excuse for my behavior, hey/ You pulled the gun, hey, hey/ That shot and crucified my savior/ Now he is no more and I am without you/ Just like I was before/ The way I used to be, hey/ What a weight upon your shoulders that you don’t need/ My heart bleeds for me//
CHORUS: Got a lot more than I bargained for/ You’re all alone now/ You forgot about the others you were fighting for/ You’re all alone/ Ooh, sold out to the ones that you once ignored/ You’re all alone now/ You used to be a little crazy now there’s so much more/ You’re all alone//

Review: Not well received in parts of Europe
WTF Happened to Axl Rose?
(JoBlo Originals) July 15, 2022: As far as rockstars go, they don’t get much bigger than Axl Rose. As the frontman of Guns N’ Roses, he became an instant legend when the band's debut album, Appetite for Destruction, was released in 1987. Spawning hits that are still iconic 25 years later (with the soundtrack for Thor: Love and Thunder featuring them prominently), including “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Paradise City,” and “Sweet Child of Mine,” the album broke out from the hard rock/heavy metal genre to become one of the biggest selling albums of all time. Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, they were one of the biggest bands in the world, with Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 also major sellers. Axl Rose was everywhere, especially when the band started doing ballads like “Don’t Cry” and “November Rain.” Yet, after the release of their covers album, The Spaghetti Incident, Guns N’ Roses started to fall apart, with iconic guitarist Slash and pokey bassist Duff McKagan leaving acrimoniously. Rose would spend most of the next decade working on a follow-up album, Chinese Democracy, with an ever-revolving lineup of members, with the album in question a critical and commercial disappointment. In the meantime, rumors about Rose’s behavior and sobriety ran rampant.
This episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity tries to separate fact from fiction and celebrate the fact that Rose has since reunited much of the original band and that they still sell out stadiums worldwide.

It seems unconscionable that anyone would add "...But" to this title unless it's a quote. It is.
When it happened in India on a bus, the country was outraged. The world was outraged. (We could all see what a cultural problem it was by the arguments the guilty party, his father, and other men and some women said in his defense).
When it happened recently in Brazil -- 30+ men raped 16 year old girl unconscious, in full view, videotaping portions. Brazil was outraged, at least a feminist portion of it was, the sexists cowered with their heads down, clinging to the rape-friendly Catholic Church, still the "opium of the masses," and a military-culture, which is more adamantly rape-friendly.
When it happens in our shame-based culture -- that is both ashamed of personal sexual desire and shaming of anyone else comfortable with sex or the victim of sexual assault by incest, molestation, rape, or humiliation (bullying, sexting, masturbating, public sexuality, gender nonconformity, etc.) -- we turn red, feel uncomfortable, and look away.
But this, thanks to a racist superior court judge and the implicit bias that feeds white privilege for those accused and even those convicted of serious felonies, has finally hit home. A privileged and affluent white male raping a female student, likely a white one but that is uncertain, got an ultra light jail sentence. Facing 6 to 14 years, possibly even a life sentence, for three violent felonies, the white swim team member got six months because of the judge's discretion.
AlternativeRadio.org: RAPE CULTURE 2-PACK Today on AR,Prof. Victoria Banyard from the Univ. of New Hampshire talks about sexual violence It occurs from New York to New Delhi, from Denver to Durban. Not long ago, even mentioning the subject was taboo. The stigma and shame were overwhelming. Help lines, counseling, and rape crisis centers did not exist. In some countries, legal, and cultural changes have made reporting easier. But in parts of Africa, West and South Asia, where patriarchy is still deeply rooted, survivors of attacks are often blamed then ostracized. Sexual violence takes many forms, but its underlying purpose is the expression of power and domination over the person assaulted. Take the case of the man in Ohio who imprisoned and repeatedly raped three women over a period of years. During war and civil unrest, rape of women as well as men is often used as a weapon. Sexual violence and sodomy in prison -- even by guards -- is widespread.
The victim wrote 7,000 words about the matter after the aggressor turned down a sweetheart plea deal and instead chose to drag the case out in court, forcing the victim to testify. Buzzfeed.com got a hold of the victim's statement and published it, a cable news anchor spent a half hour reading it on air, and it has become a viral phenomenon.
What does it mean? We live in a rape culture, and it is not limited to college campuses and being raped in the military by straight and homosexual aggressors.
Stanford rapist Brock Allen Turner
No one seems to have noticed last week when it came out that convicted Los Angeles serial killer and rapist the Grim Sleeper began his raping career with two fellow US military men on a base in Germany. They abducted a child of 16, kidnapped her, brought her to their base and gang raped her. They were caught, but the US military wasn't too alarmed about their sexual misconduct.
They sent him back to the states to launch a career working as a mechanic for the LAPD and raping and murdering an estimated 200 females. At least one escaped, but it took a disinterested LAPD 20 years to track him down and bring him to justice. They could have looked in their own parking lot where he as repairing their cars as detectives tried to piece together clues, never bothering to interview the victim who survived and escaped his clutches. It's in the documentary we covered when it was in limited release.
Hillary Clinton could become president. As we all know, racism ended when Barry Obama was selected for the position by the powers that be, funded by Wall Street, and shoved down our throats only to turn on all of his promises, pick up a preemptive Nobel Peace Prize, expand the war on Afghanistan rather than bringing the troops home.
They're still there, boots on the ground killing with "death from above" via the US military's experimental drone assassination program, all very illegal, but who can do anything about it? Far from doing anything about it, Pres. Obama is proud of it, claiming to meet weekly to sign off on more assassinations by executive decree.
("Morning Joe") Surprisingly sympathetic look at "The Hunting Ground"
Did his administration bring anyone involved the Bush administration's torture program to justice? Did he or anyone do anything to curb CIA abuses worldwide or NSA, NSC, DARPA, and FBI homeland spying programs? No. So it is safe to predict that sexism will soon end when the Clintons get back in the White House. Ken Starr is, where is hypocrite Ken Starr?
Former Pres. Bill Clinton is a is a serial sex abuse, and who enables him and protects his sexual antics against females across the country? Lesbian Good Wife Hillary, who far from being pro-women is pro-abuse of women. But she's a woman, she has to be for women! She hasn't used her power for good so far, why would she start now?
In a "rape culture" the weakest (the kids) are the most victimized. GNR frontman Axl Rose wasmolested as a kid by his father. Incest and date-rape are far more common than stranger-rape.
Occupy Cal has not gone anywhere. Tents were destroyed and teenage students dragged away by "storm trooper" style police in jack boots. In outrage students are holding teach outs and a general student strike. People -- supporters, faculty, graduate student teachers, Occupy Oakland (who are marching to Cal in support), Occupy San Francisco, and UC students -- will not stand by for 1960s history to repeat itself as the country (empire) is again engaged in secret wars around the world and strip mining the planet from its base on Wall Street and anti-environment corporations (Monsanto, ADM, Halliburton
(Susan Swift) We can put a face behind the Occupy movement -- and it appears to be a wanna-be one percenter. Peter Thottam is the creator of Occupy Los Angeles and also the progressive force behind Occupy the Rose Parade.
Thottam’s been planning this occupation disruption of the Rose Parade for the last six months — at least that’s how long he’s had the “Occupy the Rose Parade” Twitter feed going. Ironically, Peter Thottam is a Goldman Sachs alum, an Ivy-Leaguer, and former corporate lawyer from an international mega law firm, and recent MBA grad. Yale, Boalt Hall Berkeley Law, and UCLA MBA. Does this sound like a community organizer or a one percenter? While Peter Thottam’s CV reeks of Wall Street elitism, his bio depicts someone grabbing for the corporate brass ring. But he is strangely unwilling or unable to keep a job at such elite corporate employers as Goldman Sachs or O’Melveny and Myers.
Guns n' Roses is not the only group promoting Chi-nese Democracy. The Tibet Campaign is radically agitating Beijing for change and being crushed by the totalitarian state. Protests have continued before and after the 2008 Olympics.
Like Axl Rose, the Dalai Lama has been walking a tightrope between diplomacy and radical activity (between private serenity and behind-the-scenes work) to bring about the desired goal. The latter has succumbed to exhaustion, while the former has remained in near seclusion. Is Axl Rose a monk? Is the Dalai Lama a rockstar? If the shoe fits...
