Weekend listings

Hey now.....

I already think too much is being made of Chinese Democracy, the new album
by Guns N' Roses, which appears it will actually be released in late
November. I heard the first single that was sent to radio this week -- I like
it.

The reality is that it's impossible for poor Axl to live up to the hype he's
created by waiting five centuries and spending more than $10 to finally
release 15 songs. Even if it were another Appetite for Destruction, it's
unlikely to meet even some of its expectations. And to do it without Slash
makes it seem less likely.
