Is it me or is it always Amazon.co.UK?? There must be a GnR fan or forum member that works there. It's doesn't seem like it's ever Amazon.com

Maybe it's just me.

I wouldn't say a song 'itself' made me cry, but more the timing of hearing it. A few years ago I had car problems (as well as other problems) and was driving my Mom's car around. I realized she had a CD player in the car (i think they were in a 6 disc in the trunk) so I put one on at random. It was Willie Nelson. I listened and realized how talented he really is. Then "Always on my mind" came on, just kinda hit me. Elvis does a powerful rendition of that song as well.

Another time was just a few months ago I had an uncle pass away. He was pretty young, and made a pretty big impact on me. He had a log cabin up the mountains, which he built himself, being a carpenter, and occasionally would have music on or cassette tapes while barbequeing & having a beer. So it was cool for me to see an adult listen to The Who, or goto a Stones concert etc as my parents are a bit older. One time, more recently, we were drinking a beer, goofing around playing darts and had Lynyrd Skynyrd on. I always remember that for some reason. On the day of his funeral, it was a Tuesday (October 30th, mischief night coincidentally enough, as he was a bit of a badass). I was off from work, woke up early and drank a coffee, which was a daily routine of his, and downloaded Skynyrd's "Tuesdays Gone" & listened to it over & over. God I still miss him, I just got a tingle all over again typing this stuff out.

Haha, he was a tool.

Slash was badass.

I dunno, but I would think it might have something to do with insurance stemming from the Vancouver no-show. Insurers probably felt Axl was liable for the no-show and they shouldn't be responsible for covering the costs. GnR & mgmt probably felt they were, blaming the inability to leave the US in time. However it went down in the end, the insurance company likely dropped coverage, and no other insurance company was willing to pick it up.
