Thanks for posting this! I find it incredibly interesting! Could it be we are getting closer to discovering the origins of the 'Wow!' signal? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wow!_signal

Interesting topic. Maybe I'm wrong but It would seem that men would relate to the songs from their vantage point and women would feel they are singing to them. Just a thought.

You don't necessarily have to relate or identify. You could just think they were living a fantasy, like it's entertainment.

I think for women, feeling they are singing to them, well that is a fantasy! This is how I related to their music in the '80's. How my girlfriends did too. We felt they were speaking our language. Present day, it's all nostalgia I would like to think! But no, still speaking my language. Then / now, yes it is all entertainment!!

How would you explain Welcome to the Jungle? Who are the "people that you find"? Are they just the bad guys you want to hang with?

What I'm saying is you can relate directly to some songs (oe maybe you can't) and some times it's just exciting. Like people like to watch a football game, but they can't run for shit themselves.

What lyrics or songs did you relate to specifically?

If you relate to a lot of the lyrics you probably need to seek some addiction counseling.

Not may of the songs are about drinking and drug addiction specifically. There are some truths about it, but not really anything actually hedonistic, which is odd isn't

I figure it won't be too long before we are Gn'R-educated by some kids who were in diapers during AFD who are hoping for party passes by denying Slash's importance to the Gn'R legacy.

Great interview by Slash. He's gotta be tired of these questions but to his credit he still answers them.

You do realize that people who were in their diapers "during AFD" are now almost 30 years old? Just food for thought. You're not exactly talking about children anymore.

Well that's scary... but you are right. Still seems like the last decade was the '90's.

He wants to try and convince us, once again, Sid didn't kill Nancy.

Edit: I don't know that we do, but if he needs the money, why not!

I don't know if this was posted.

It sounded like Woody warned her going into the relationship he wanted nothing to do with kids, but she still wanted to have kids with the guy?

I just read this in it's entirety. This is the final decision handed down by the judge that presided over the custody trial, as I'm sure you know already having posted it (good find!). This is very telling. The judge states the family went through more therapy than most to prove / disprove sexual assault and didn't need to go through more to prove / disprove as such (they had a lot of therapy going forward just to 'fix' what was going on.

The judge goes on to state the doctor's that saw Dylan were not specialized in child sexual abuse except one. That one doctor, made his assumptions she was not abused based his decision on a hunch with no scientific evidence to back it. (correct me if I misinterpreted this) That one doctor never visited with Dylan in conjunction with Allen. That would make a difference in how the child behaved around him. The judge discredited the doctor's testimony because of this plus other reasons listed. So, the only doctor that specialized in child sexual abuse that testified Dylan was not sexually abused, was discredited. This is a far cry from - Allen didn't do it, Allen was exonerated. This document is the actual truth as handed down by the judge that heard all the testimony from everyone involved.

Yes, he had not been accused of pedophilia prior however, he had not been in such close proximity with a child before. Farrow wanted to have a child with Allen, it wasn't happening. She adopted Dylan and listed Allen as the father. Allen became close to Dylan and ignored the others. Allen did not bond with Dylan as a father should. The judge stated he believed testimony that Allen had sexual feelings for the child rather than paternal. (Satchel, later changed his name to Ronan, was born a few years after the adoption) Let's not forget, Soon Yi was an adopted child just as Dylan, we know how that turned out.

There is much more in this final decision regarding child custody, parenting, history of the family dynamics, etc. Don't want to go off topic though. After reading this, my final opinion is that Allen did indeed sexually abuse Dylan.

Can everyone in the states add your SS#, DOB and DL#? No reason of course!
