It's So Easy

Last week I stopped by the local Newbury Comics to pick up some CDs I was hoping to find used.* I was walking past the 'new arrivals' rack when I spotted this staring up at me - Guns N' Roses Greatest Hits.

Reaction #1 (as I reach for the CD): Guns N' Roses Greatest Hits!? Man, my youth is seriously disappearing in the rearview mirror.

Reaction #2 (as I scan the list of tracks): this disc sucks. Anyone looking here for the greatness of GnR is going to be sorely disappointed. Why wouldn't you just buy Appetite for Destruction and Lies and be done with it?

* I did find the used CDs I wanted. I especially recommend Richard Thompson's Mock Tudor. Damn fine disc.
