Got an update from my brother.  He actually uses the same cleaning lady as Izzy, so he asked about him leaving.  It is fair to point out that my brother is about as cool as rainbow suspenders and doesn't give a rat's ass about GNR.   Hell, for two years he only occasionally mentioned how he had some "weirdo" musician neighbor.  It wasn't until I was up there for a week that I realized it was Izzy.  Anyway, he asked the cleaning woman if the "weirdo" was moving out and she said he was "going back to work with his old music group."

You're obviously not up to speed on your GN'R history.  GW don't say anything, Erin on the other hand... 

(well that was the rumour at the time - google it and you can find shit on it).

it wasn't del. and he isn't even 43. and not from nashville. he's from new york. and i completely agree with everything this guy said in his blog. all i feel is gratitude for getting to listen to and own the music that axl makes. it's amazing, and i don't know why so many of you complain about every little thing. complaining about how axl relates to his fans.....picking apart every little thing about the songs..... it takes all the joy out of listening to and appreciating all this great music that axl and all the other guys created with their hearts and souls.  alot of you just sound like very unhappy people.

I haven't noticed anybody complaining in this thread - apart from yourself????

I simply made the point that the writing style reminded me of the way Del James writes.

The guy said in the article he saw two UYI shows.  Del obviously has seen a lot more shows than that.  I know that.

At the same time if they got Del to write it you could easily put in facts like a different age and a different area where he grew up etc if they wanted to.  But whatever, I don't think he wrote it, I simply made the point that it sounded to me like his flowery writing style that's all.
