I'd just like to say.

I'm enjoying my road trip in the US.

No real difference from Obama era to Trump era. Obviously some Trump signage and what not.

But, I loved Kentucky (Lexington is so nice). Missouri has been a blast with BBQ. St Louis (only spent a day) wasn't a bad town, Busch Stadium is great.

Kansas City holy shit, I love that town. Such a neat place.

The World War 1 memorial is majestic. I wish my country could pay that good of a tribute to our WWI veterans. Cause boy oh boy is that museum something. As someone who had a relative die in that conflict it was such a breathtaking experience.

Kaufmann Stadium is pretty sweet too. Waterfall in it is nice and cooling if you're in the outfield like my girlfriend and I were.

The drive from Missouri to Illinois was long but, so far Chicago (staying in the DePaul University area) has been solid. Cool street festivals.

Lincoln Park Zoo solid place too. And free. Like where I am from that shit would cost money our Toronto Zoo workers might be on strike still, and the Toronto Zoo is way shittier.

Now I might have a bias in all of this cause due to my Irish American Great Grandparents I have a solid fondness for America (wish I had the dual citizenship).

You guys might not have the solid health care, and some things aren't the best. But, man do you know how to honor your previous wars, know how to drive (moving over if you're going too slow in the left lane to the right, never happens in Ontario).

Also, as a non-pork eater. I get to have the bloody steak and egg biscuit at Mcdonalds or the mcmuffin version. Kentucky had a buttermilk chicken one and that was so good.

Anyhow, shit in the world especially in London sucks.

Makes you wary when you go to any city American, Canadian et cetera. So my guard is up on that.

I don't even know what this post is about.

As someone who wanted Hilldawg as President, Trump's America isn't bad. It's the people that make America Great. Regardless of their political background.

I remember a cool couple in Kansas City (as we were seeing Tom Petty), bought us beers as it is legal to drink in a vehicle if you're the passenger. They were telling us about where they were from and, I don't know their background politics wise. But, I don't think Trump is a monster or reprehensible. They kind of played up the Trump bashing. Maybe cause they thought we were really liberal. Was kind of weird, like it is cool you can like whoever ya know?

Regardless of your stance on the Donald, America in my eyes is still awesome as it was last year and the year before. You have a way different President and how they operate compared to Democrats and Republicans of the past, but it is the people. That make this place special.

Also, U.S. border agent at Fort Erie solid dude. Reminded me to sign my passport, and wasn't a dick or suggested due to the long hair that I might be a do the reefing (thanks Detroit ha). For the record I don't.

Anyhow, America!

I remember Richard Fortus mentioning how Guns N' Roses are a high target for terrorists too. It was in some Not In This Lifetime 1st leg of the tour interview.

Hard to defend against.

I remember a while ago writing a blog asking Toronto's Transit Commission on Twitter if their new subway trains were tested for potential terrorist suicide attacks. And I got so many looks on that blog. As these trains have an open concept design without doors separating the trains.

Security going in is nice, but doesn't help people lined up to get in or people leaving.

This attack disgusts me.

I think you can't piss off the CIA, like Trump has done and get away with it.

They're going to get him(leak damaging information or acquire such info) when the time comes or some rogue employee will leak stuff.

Those tax returns will be damaging for sure.

And yes the people who didn't vote because they bought the polls are to blame.

I don't think Hillary was that bad of a candidate.

Had she won she would have ran for re-election in 2020.

I thought she needed a better VP pick.

More than qualified to be President.

In fact she should pull a Richard Nixon (He lost in 1960 and later won in 1968, obviously it would be the next election).

No one that I know of has run for President after losing the popular vote.

If Hillary runs she needs a good inspiring VP pick like Gavin Newsom or Cory Booker.

Anyhow, the hysteria around Trump is pretty crazy. A lot of things with him I don't agree with. But, give him more than a month ya know?

Yeah let's not be fucking victim blaming here.

Erin was married to Axl, and the fucking dick bag almost got her killed. Like you think he would be looking out for his "bro's" lady instead of her almost dying.

So fucking please.

If Axl Rose did what Steven Adler did to his wife or another band member's wife, I wouldn't have respect for him in the least.

I'd say most drummers are replaceable. Unless you're John Bonham or Dennis Wilson (heart of the Beach Boys, songwriting skills) or Keith Moon or David Grohl or Matt Cameron you're replaceable.

The only drummers that I would be jacked to see ever replace Frank if it had to be would Josh Freese (has a shit ton of shit always going on so unlikely) or Brain.

Steven Adler and Matt Sorum are both respectfully cunts. Each in their own special way. So there is no way in hell they're ever being full-time drummers in Guns and thank fucking god.
