Yeah, that would be me. As any one who read the previous post could see I made a really dumb typo. I was tired, I was reading about Guns n Roses, and I just can’t type and read at the same time. Complete dingy brain fart. (And TWICE at that!) And then the internal debate: do I write a retraction, do I try to let it die quietly (yeah right, Keen’s laughing his ass off at me). This has been bugging me all day. And it’s funny, because if I had made the same slip in conversation with someone I really wouldn’t worry about it. People I talk to know I have a brain, even if it doesn’t always show up for performances. HOWEVER. Because I put it in print, I’ve basically immortalized my dinginess (and humiliation) for all to see.
So just for the record I DO know the difference between Axl and Jon. Hopefully I haven’t scared off the few readers I have.
Now I’m going to go hide from the internets for awhile. – wg
I thought you were just trying to be funny when you called him Axl.
Everybody has a brain fart every now and again. I won’t add you to my list yet. But you better bring your buns over and comment quick or I might change my mind.
LOL! I was a bit confused as well but was too scared to ask:-))

I think it’s hilarious that we probably all make mistakes in our blogs and comments about politics, science, and god knows what else, but if you get the lead singer to Bon Jovi wrong the whole world in all over you.
You’re forgiven. 😉
No worries, it happens 🙂
I once worked as an editor for a college newspaper, and in an article that was reviewing the college’s spring theater production I made one of the worst typos ever. It started:
“This Season’s Shit Musical”
That didn’t go over so well.
Hey, at least you all care enough to give me a little shit. If no one had commented and only Keen had pointed it out (you know, the equivalent sound of blog crickets chirping) I would have felt REALLY bad!
Siren, I know what you mean. I’ve seen corporate datasheets get printed with really awful typos.
Seriously, I thought you were just joking when you put Axl. You’re even funny when you don’t mean to be.
