I Promise I Didn’t Sleep With Axl Rose

My husband thinks I’ve had sex with Axl Rose.

As enticing as that concept is…

Tempting. But I'm all set, thanks.

…I know better than to give in to my (apparently) deepest desires to bump uglies with guys like Axl who “sing” for bands like Guns N Roses.

You gotta read the fine print, girls. ALWAYS read the fine print.

In fact, whenever Axl’s whiney screams start pealing from the car stereo, I automatically change the station.

I find Guns N Roses music to be grating to my eardrums & soul, and there’s something about the lead singer himself that makes me want to punch him in the face.

The first time Husband witnessed me do this, we were newly dating and he asked me why I changed the station. I told him I don’t like the music.  He got all quiet and said:

I’m guessing each time you all witness someone change the radio station because they dislike a band, you assume they, too, bedded the lead singer.  

It has been over 12 years since that first question/accusation, and he still holds it tight like something he knows about me that I many deny now, but will absolutely confess on my deathbed.

Mind you, had I knocked boots with AR back in the day, I’m guessing my vagina would have blackened like an overcooked sweet potato and fallen out of me by now.  So far, all is in tact. Which I see as evidence of my non-groupieness.

But if Husband wants to think he’s some Super Sleuth, and believe I am so desirable that scores of men (including Rock Stars) have vied for my affections, so be it.  If he has some fantasy in his head that I’ve lived a life more thrilling than Grew Up, Worked Through College, Dated a Couple Guys, Met Husband, then so be it.

Sure, I find it the total opposite of a compliment that he thinks I’d ever let Axl Rose see me in my Birthday Suit.  But if it adds a little mystery to our marriage, if it makes me seem a little more exciting and alluring to my man, I’ll wear the faded black t-shirt.

 

But there’s no way in hell I’m listening to that crap on the radio.

    Well, at least the hubs didn’t think you did the dirty deed with Slash.

    Or did you?

    I love Guns & Roses. However, I would never have slept with any of them. Having a rocker parent totally kept me from wanting to sleep with any rock stars ever.

    How random! That’s a pretty funny thing for him to latch onto.

  4. haha – so funny! I think you can safely say you dodged that bullet! I was kicking around the music scene in LA in those days and the diseases running around had their own support group due to overwork!

  5. I always like the “Well, not him, but. . .” reply. Not that I {ahem} know anything about that or anything, {ahem} because I was never a girl that would have a fling with a guy in a band. . . Keep the mystery alive.

    My son LOVES G’n'R. I can take them or leave them, but since my 13 month old seems to love them so much, we play them all the time now. Why he couldn’t have latched onto my love of broadway musicals is beyond me. But that’s a tangent. What I really wanted to say is that you should have that T-shirt actually made. “The Axl Was In My Vag Tour”? BRILLIANT.

  7. Love the t-shirt! And I agree, if it keeps the mystery alive, why not :)

  8. Hmm, I thought maybe your hubs knew something the rest of us needed to know about you.

    Does that mean that there are other rock stars that you have bedded? The secrets at the LetMeStart house I tell ya…

  11. Kisatrtle says:

    Ummm…I just have no words for this. I change the station every time Wilson Phillips comes on and I have never bedded any of those ladies… LOL

  12. Oh, Lord, the sweet potato line, I almost peed my pants. What is with your hub? The worst I ever did was sleep with one of the Monkees, and that was only because we were desperate for company! (And yes, I told my husband!) Amy

  13. You hate G&R? Hate Axl?? (Ok, deep breaths. We don’t have to agree to still be friends.) While I agree that bad things would have happened to your lady bits had you gone there, I still don’t get your general aversion to the soundtrack to my 7th and 8th grade years.

    Anyway, your husband’s reaction to a changed radio station is awesome. From now on I’m going to make leaping and unlikely assumptions based on people’s small gestures.

    You take milk in your coffee? What’s the matter? You don’t like black people?
    Allison @ Motherhood, WTF? recently posted..WTF Gets PoliticalMy Profile

    • Oh, I know all the words to the songs because my friends loved them, but I’d never bed Axl. Ew.

      Oh, how you read me and my coffee habits so well. I never should have asked for that extra serving of creamer…

  14. Arieloser says:

    Gosh, my husbands assumes that I’m going to kill everyone not bang them…

    Lucky.

    Apparently I don’t support going to bed with AXL. Even not during the “jungle fever” :)

    I stumbled my way over here via Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva. Thank goodness I did. I needed – NEEDED – the full on rolling around cackling your sweet potato line brought me. Thank you so much for making my whole day a million times better! :D

  17. Your coffee creamer habits are consistent with sleeping with Axl Rose since he is racist. I like how things seem to have come full circle.
    It’s fun to learn new things about people.

    Snorting! But I do like old GNR. Hate me, but don’t assume my love is the product of a dirty night with Slash.
