Two loud mouth blowhards – rocker Axl Rose and radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh – had problems with law enforcement in the last 48 hours.
Rose and Rush – don’t those two names just sound good together? It just rolls off the tongue. Hall and Oates. Lennon and McCartney. Rose and Rush. Other than R’s, what do they have in common? Well, both have had problems with drugs. Both have huge egos and take themselves too seriously. Both are overrated and on the radio way too much.
And now they have something new in common – both were arrested this week.
Stockholm was apparently not Paradise City for Axl Rose after he did something so stupid it could cause cancellation of a Guns N’ Roses concert scheduled for Wednesday in Oslo, Norway. Rose has had more than his share of tantrums and run-ins with police over the years. On Tuesday he was arrested after allegedly biting the leg of a hotel security guard. It’s one thing for Ozzy to bite the head off bats but quite another when we have humans biting other humans. What’s he trying to prove? That he’s wackier than Mike Tyson? Rose is supposed to be held until Friday for damage to a hotel and his attack on the guard. That puts the Wednesday concert in jeopardy.
(This just in: Rose, 44, has agreed to pay the guard $5,500 for his injuries and was released. So the concert tomorrow may still be on.)
C’mon, Axl. If you are going to act crazy, can’t you at least save it for the stage? Apparently not. He was so drunk, the cops said, that they had to wait until he sobered up before they could question him. The biting came after a guard tried to stop an argument in the hotel lobby between Rose and a woman.

As much as I dislike Rush, I believe he should have the right to take what ever drug he feels he needs to fix whatever ails him.
Too bad he doesn't agree.

"he should have the right to take what ever drug he feels he needs to fix whatever ails him"
Apparently what ails is him is his cock.
