      Well if the grass is dead, most other plants will probably be too.

      And attractiveness is subjective.

    When you’re young, horny and reasonably healthy it makes a lot more sense.

      Fuck, high school summers hanging out in the park with pretty girls (most girls were pretty, as I recall). I didn’t need much more than that.

    How old I am:

    Translated Paradise City into French for my gf, hand written in a perfumed letter on real stationary. She loved it. Yes, I got laid, but that was happening anyway as we were 18.

      … did she know that was a translation, or you went like "here is an original French poem I wrote about you "

        She was one of two genuine genius level IQs I’ve ever met. She knew.

        Genius, looked like an 80s Marilyn Monroe, freak in the sheets, emotional quotient of a rabid possum. Loved that woman.

    🎵 Take me down to the Paradise City,

    Where the women are men,

    But they got big titties. 🎵

      From Genius:

      "Guns N Roses guitarist Slash – who wrote most of the music for this song – wanted the repeat of the chorus to change to:

      Where the girls are fat
      And they’ve got big titties
      

      Lead singer Axl Rose didn’t go for it. Instead it follows with nice sights most Americans long to find. Particularly for being better than usual (after all, the grass is always greener on the other side).

      Note the alliteration: grass, green and girls."

      Thanks for the fun fact! I didn’t know this.

        Slash knows what’s up.

      Are you sure about that?

      Take me down to the Paradise City
      Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
      Take me home (I want you, please, take me home)

      https://genius.com/Guns-n-roses-paradise-city-lyrics

      I mean they repeat it a whole bunch of times.

        Those weren’t the original lyrics, though. Axl changed them before the song was recorded (good move, though)

    I mean… I’ve been where the grass is spray painted rocks and the girls aren’t pretty… I’d rather green grass and pretty girls.
