Unicorn Sighting

In three days, the album that Axl Rose has been talking about making for 15 years is finally set to be released. Chinese Democracy is due out on the 23rd, and this actually does have to qualify as a pretty big event in rock history. Chuck Klosterman wrote a review of the album for the AV Club, and you should check it out, whether you like Gn'R or not. It's funny and insightful, because it's Klosterman. Also, go watch the video for November Rain, which is "Stairway to Heaven" for my generation. Watching that, I might have to say that one of my lifelong dreams is to play a guitar solo while a wind machine blows dust towards me and a helicopter flies overhead multiple times for tracking shots.
