On a recent stroll through the Rosie The Riveter Memorial Rose Garden in San Diego’s gorgeous Balboa Park, I came across a flower that screamed to be given a spotlight: the Rock N Roll Rose. With its bold red-and-white striped blooms and dramatic flair, this flower’s streaked petals recall a whimsical moment from Alice in Wonderland, when the Queen’s playing card gardeners frantically paint the white roses red to please Her Majesty. Yes, they exist! Continue reading Yes, It Exists: The Rock N Roll Rose!→

British Comedian/Actor, Marathon Runner and Action Transvestite Eddie Izzard was born on this day, February 7th, in 1962. That makes him exactly one day younger than Axl Rose! Just take a look at the two of them and see who is better preserved at this still relatively young age! I just saw Eddie perform here in NYC on Monday of this week while car shopping and he was completely hilarious! Happy Birthday, Eddie!
William Bruce Bailey, also known as Axl Rose, celebrates another Birthday today, having been born on February 6th, 1962. I feel bad that Axl has lost his mind and become such a dick, but I guess we can always look back on Appetite for Destruction, which is a work of genius, and remember the good times. Happy Birthday Axl. Have some cake.
Original Guns ‘N’ Roses Drummer Steven Adler was born on this day, January 22nd in 1965. Adler (real name: Michael Coletti) has the dubious distinction of being the first member of the band to be fired by singer Axl Rose, setting a trend that would continue until Rose was the only remaining original member left in the group by the late ’90s. Happy Birthday, Steven!
