Hey, I read something this weekend I keep meaning to mention on here. Do you guys know who was at her funeral? Slash!!! From Guns & Roses.
Of course I'm probably the only person impressed with this, but I love G-N-R.
And the last person to find out about it I must add.

I saw that and commented at the time. I worked for an airline, and when my daughters were teenagers, we used to go to a restaurant in LA where the rock stars would hang out. The owner and waitresses got to know us and would take the girls to the tables to meet celebrities. They got to meet Slash. He was very nice, and gave the girls some guitar picks for souveniers. I think they have "Guns and Roses" on them...they're somewhere in the house. They met Axl Rose, also. One time we all went to one of their drummer's apartments....he was so nice...can't remember his name... and he pointed to a guitar in the corner that was Slash's. I think they were roommates at the time. (I can't remember, but many years later, I'll bet the girls still do.)
Believe me, I never condoned some celebrity lifestyles, with drugs, etc., and my girls knew this. They were just thrilled to meet the people they saw in celebrity magazines while going through the "star struck" teenage years. What was good is that the girls came away from it knowing that these celebrities were "just people" who became famous. We have so many stories to tell....lots of good and fun memories!
I just thought of the drummer's name...Matt Sorum.
