I've seen many like that. They got space in America. In this particular stadium it's the parking lot that makes it stand out. Very pleasing to the eye with the symmetry.

From where I am, the United States, I only know what the news tells me. The BBC is devastated. Fox is indifferent. MSNBC is kind of sad. They all fear since this happened in the UK that it means Trump has a real shot to win the general election.

They'd be right I guess. Didn't expect this at all myself.

If Trump wins in November however, Brexit will look like a walk in the park. Now that will be historical.

Listening to a handful of songs it's about what I expected. Not groundbreaking from Axl, but not bad either.

This song he nails:

Great moment when Slash comes in at the beginning with the spotlight. Listen to the crowd. People are so thrilled to have him back.

I wouldn't worry any more than usual (which to be fair might be a lot). They wouldn't let you vote if they thought you could fuck anything up.

You have to admit it looks very aesthetic:

I've also seen a tweet this morning, not sure how accurate it is, that says Britain has already lost more money in the last 12 hours than it will ever save from not paying in to the eu.

That's going to be hard to quantify I think, unless they are just counting membership fee, which would be far from accurate. There are many other costs, direct and indirect.

A fall in the stock market isn't exactly a loss in my eyes either. Those things jump up and down every 5 years.

That was surprising. It's going to be a hot summer.

For me it simply got over saturated. Had been listening to Axl/DC for weeks every day. His slip up wasn't all that bad, and then he came back strong. But at that point the same set list just didn't do it anymore.

AXL/DC were mixing up the set adding seldom played tunes in there. Some hadn't been played since Bon Scott era. If that's not mixing it up, I don't know what is. Of course, it wasn't drastic overall changes, but they weren't all the same

I was speaking more in terms of hearing Back in Black and Thunderstruck again after weeks on repeat. Introducing stuff like If You Want Blood helped, but everything has limits.

I saw a Dr. Who advertisement from 2014 the other day, and for a good while I thought I was watching the trailer for Rogue One.

England have been on the forefront of sporting upsets for a long time. Before Uruguay stole the cup from Brazil on their home soil, England made headlines in the group stage. This was right after the time when the English considered themselves so superior to everybody else in football they thought the FIFA World Cup a frivolous affair, an insult to the creators of the game. The British championship was the real WC for them.

Long story short, the American team was a collection of amateur players, more or less a literal pub team. They won 1-0. The upset was so big the English was sure the real result was 10-1 and the papers had simply misprinted it.

Sorry APE. 16
