Joe Rogan and Axl Rose Demonstrate How Politics Is Truly Downstream From Culture

When looking for words of wisdom, generally speaking, one most likely looks elsewhere than a comedian/MMA color commentator and a decidedly erratic hard rock singer. However, in these two instances, it is precisely a comedian/MMA color commentator and a decidedly erratic, hard rock singer proclaiming truth.

We start with a blast from the past, namely thirteen years ago when Guns N’ Roses, at that time down to one original member in the form of singer Axl Rose, released Chinese Democracy. It had been fifteen years since the band had last released an album of original material, so by this measure, we should expect a new GN’R album in 2023. But I digress.

At the time of its release, Chinese Democracy was banned in — guess where? — China. Apparently the powers that be there were none too keen on Mr. Rose’s lyrical observations, as shown in the video below:

Perhaps Mr. Rose will tour in your area soon.

I like some of their stuff, but it has irritated me for decades that they didn’t know the difference between “politesse” and “politics” in their cover of “Sympathy for the Devil.”

Speaks volumes the Redstate is busy tracking the foreign policy insights of overweight, aging rockers. Thankful this site’s influence has waned as has Axl for that matter.
