is it me and my head or me and my body?

I haven't gone into much about the music scene here in abu dhabi because there really isn't one that I can find. I'm sure there are many gifted musicians here among the thousands of workers driving cabs and doing all manner of construction, but as for venues to see music, we haven't heard of them.

That said, like other things here, there are imports. Kanye and Prince were here for Formula One weekend as well as Linkin Park and Nelly Furtado. Ok, those sound ok, but were expensive and we passed. This weekend however (sadly we will be away), brings a conundrum.

"Guns and Roses" are playing this weekend. Well at least, Roses. This genre (Kevin is calling it zombie rock) is about resurrecting old bands frozen into the stale performance of their hits of yesterday. Thing is, there is no Slash! Apparently the guitarist wears a top hat just like the real lead guitarist, but its just Axl singing his heart out.

This would be neither here nor there, except the radio stations keep playing that "Sweet Child" riff until I want to blow my brains out.

So is it guns and roses afterall? Can we have guns and roses without Slash? Without Axl even?

I barely care, but dear listeners, thats what I leave you with today....
