Mañana Man Has Axe to Grind —DeWese

Guns N' Roses is on one of those around-the-world revival tours; they scheduled two concerts in Philadelphia for December 6 and 8, 2002. Andy and Dave were thrilled. Dave found a ticket broker with front-row seats and the guys paid $600 for a pair of tickets.

Dave and Andy showed up for the concert and sat through three hours of no-name, warmup entertainers. The crowd was beginning to get edgy when, at 11 p.m., the emcee announced that Axl Rose was ill and Guns N' Roses would not be showing up. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported the next day that Axl Rose was actually in his New York hotel engrossed in a Lakers game, and thus decided to bag the Philadelphia concert.
