i've never been a huge fan, i've actually been something of a hater of guitar solos through my music listening career. i have a pretty substantial collection of mp3s nowadays and a lot of them are top 40 hits from my formative years or adolescence(~1987-1994). since i recently organized my entire music collection into one folder of mp3s, listening to music for me lately means loading all of them into one big winamp playlist and pressing random. its like a having a large ipod thats just really big and heavy so you cant take it anywhere. which is fine because i really dont have much interest in listening to music anywhere but at home. unless i'm at a party (it could happen?) or something else that requires tunes but then i guess i'm probably counting on someone to supply them.
anyway one of songs that came on today was "heaven" by warrant. its that song that starts out saying "I've got a picture of your house, with you standing by the dooOOoor..." and then goes into "Heaven isnt too far away! Closer to it ever-y day! No matter what your friends might say!" Hhaha. its from their 1989 release Dirty Filthy Rotten Stinking Rich, if youre interested. i just wanted to say that the guitar solo in that song is totally the best part. usually i dont care about guitar solos. i used to genuinely believe they were without a doubt the WORST part of any song. its just great to me that that song has this guitar solo that i like. i bet the guitarist in the band was pissed because he had to play on some bullshit radio ballad when all he really wanted to do was rock. i mean, thats why he was in Warrant in the first place right?

aww dont be such an old lady, double lesley! i almost posted this without the picture but i remembered it at the last minute and thought that having a picture is always better than not having one. anyway i kinda thought it was a good album cover actually.
