Tacoma! Rock On!
I just finished reading this really funny book called Rock On
Seattle (UPI) Early-morning pedestrians had to wonder: Who was the man making monkey sounds and throwing food scraps from a paper sack at passerby early Tuesday morning in downtown Tacoma?
The primate impersonator was none other than legendary Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose, apparently blowing off some steam after a long night of partying that started when the band completed its concert at the Tacoma dome the prior evening. Authorities said Rose’s actions were largely perceived as harmless and even entertaining by early-morning foot traffic that is until the rocker-turned-monkey-man started threatening to bite people.
...
After sobering up, Mr. Rose agreed to pay a fine of $4,000 and commented, “I don’t know what to say about this one. I don’t know . . . we finished the show, I was backstage having a few beers with the guys, and I just thought to myself, ‘This [expletive] town needs a little visit from Mr. Monkey Rose and they’re gonna get one before the night’s over.’”
Damn straight… that’s exactly what this down needs!
