Nothing about today's litho is original 

As I Chicago person having been to lots of GNR show, I agree.  But if they want to link a gun to Chicago, this about the only way to do it.  Al Capone and mafia are friendlier than our gun-shooters in Chicago.  I’m making no political statement on gun policy in observing that.

 I’m very happy that for a few weeks the city was associated with nascar, and I don’t give a shit about nascar.  (but I watched it because they were racing on the streets I drive and saw them setting up. Very surreal to see their burn-out marks on the streets when they reopened)


 A lot of the race footage showed the nation what’s beautiful about the city.  That’s cool. I’m looking forward to tonight!

It is odd seeing them as a teen during the UYI tour.  I as a rebel and bad-ass to see such a dangerous band!  (So were the kids who went to see Elvis and those dangerous hip moves). 
now it’s like, “uncle Axl is in town”. Glad to see people younger than me discovering GNR!  So much great stuff over the last few decades!

I am guessing those sold-out within 30 minutes of them opening up, and the ones inside sold out within 10 minutes of the gates opening, they only have 250 of them and I am guessing GNR and their crew might keep some for themselves so who knows how many they actually sell

Will The General make an appearance/tease?

No. 100% not gonna happen. Absolutely not. No chance. Not tonight.

Will Chrissie join again for BO?

From what I hear, she's in town!

Will we get a 3hr + show (GNR on 7pm apparently with curfew 11!)

Due to severe weather, several songs will be played a little slower than usual, so 4 hours seems likely. Reportedly, the soundcheck for KOHD alone lasted 14 hours.

Any setlist surprises? 

According to Richard 4tus, GN'R don't have a setlist. So it's kind of a gamble. They might open with It's So Easy. Or maybe not.

The most important question remains unanswered though: Who the fuck is John Galt?
