Twenty years later, I'm still disappointed that Guns 'n' Roses did not give more details about Paradise City. Sure having green grass and pretty girls is pretty good, but one could argue that lots of places have those things and are NOT Paradise City. Do blue birds sing by lemonade springs? Do they have a pig in the ground and beer on ice? Will ( Read more... )
