The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for May 31, 2023

well…come to the jungle!

Are you a guidance slash career counselor

I feel like I’m knocking on heaven’s door

Hey, that’s what I’ll call my band. Rose and Gunses.

Charlton Heston was given the same advice for his interest in Guns & Moses.

Multi-tasking is my middle name.

A little known relative had a plastic surgery business he called “Bums and Noses”!

I have to remember to share this with a FB friend. His cat’s name is Axl Rose.

Good one, Scott! Thanks for the giggles this morning.

Cute. The real origin of the band’s name is interesting. Guns ’N Roses came about when members of two other bands merged: L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose.

I know Gilby Clark….he’s been on his own now, and big over seas!

And hence a good band was born.

Did the high school career counselor get any percentage of what the band made?

Perhaps his Appetite For Destruction will lead him to a career in demolition, or explosives.

In the 60’s, that would mean he’s go around putting roses in gun muzzles.

“Oh, and say hi to Michelle for me”

A mass shooting in a nursery?

While we’re at it – which counselor thought that Mick Jäger could sing?

Have you watched Willie Nelson when he was starting out? Just on the side, what’s with his ears today? Marijuana fertilizer?

Welcome to the jungle.

This is intrinsically clever and kicker – funny…

That’s sounds a lot like my high school guidance counselor.
