Why Is My Job Awesome?
Because this was waiting for me on my desk this morning. Slash's entry into the literary world officially comes out Oct. 30. But I'm contemplating quitting my job today just so I can read it.
In related news, Slash is gonna be my high-concept Halloween costume. I have the hat, the hair, the smokes, the shades. I ordered the classic Guns N' Roses black "crucifix" tee from a cute punk girl at Hot Topic. Now I just need a nose ring, bracelets and any semblance of Slashian cool. I'll settle for the nose ring.
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
I really like that title, I wonder if it's as debaucherous (is that even a word?)as Motley Crue's "The Dirt" that I read a few weeks back. I'm still trying to scrape the pure luridness the rose from the pages out of my long term memory from that one, those boys are/were excessively nasty. (But if they weren't, they wouldn't be the Motley Crue that we've grown to love, would they?)

If "debaucherous" isn't a word, it should be. I'm gonna start cramming it into as many stories as possible.

I didn't go as "Slash" but I did use the look for my costum last year. I got some fake earings that I used for the nose ring but they got annoying after awhile. I also used a Guitar Hero controller instead of real guitar to carry around...
