    Earlier today WA state's governor declared a prohibition on gatherings / events with > 250 people. This is for Seattle and the 3 counties in the Seattle-Metro area. So no concerts, no sporting events, no cultural events, no religious events of more than 250 people. "These include but are not limited to: community, civic, public, leisure, faith-based, or sporting events; parades; concerts; festivals; conventions; fundraisers and similar activities." Meanwhile in our county there are 234 confirmed cases and 26 deaths related to COVID-19.  So this is the environment that the band members are in, which I'm sure played a role in their correct decision to pull the plug on the tour.

    Bad news for the Seattle SuperSonics of the NBA. Hopefully Shaun Kemp is okay.

    DC just banned all events over 1,000 people to 3/31. But the DC Metro, which services thousands of people a day, in much closer quarters, for long periods of time, is still allowed to run. Crazy that governments are so worried about sports and concerts and such, yet public transportation moving massive amounts of people is OK. 
    ...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...

    The last few weeks I kept telling my wife there was no way this tour would happen. I kept saying they wouldn’t be the first to cancel but they wouldn’t be the last. Well, they were one of the first and it was a good, responsible decision for the health of all involved and not because they were forced too. 

    I love this band. 
    Right on!

    Today really hit me that my Baltimore weekend is dead! But I’m totally behind this band on this issue.

    They might as well cover Every Rose Has It's Thorns or Cherry Pie. 
    Ick.
    GNR are so much better than Poison or Warrant lol!  Dude, Appetite is one of the greatest rock albums ever made.  


    That song isn't any better than either of those others.  Appetite is the most overrated album that's ever been released.  Still, it's the best hair metal album that was ever made.  The apotheosis of the music era. 
    Thank the Muses that era died lol
    They have more in common with Pearl Jam than any hair bands.

    NBA just suspended all play until further notice. Pearl Jam was just a couple of days ahead of everyone else. Not a popular decision at the time but no doubt it was a good move on their part.
