On Sunday we took my partner to the emergency room at Inova Fairfax because she was up all night with manic symptoms. Nobody could accompany her beyond the check-in station. At some point on Sunday night she was admitted to the inpatient facility at the same hospital. Unbeknownst to us, she was also set up for a "TDO" (Temporary Detention Order?), basicallly a hearing to be involuntarily committed.

The hospital has since refused to give us any information on her condition or allow any visitors, because she is too "disorganized" to sign any of the information release or visitor forms. At the TDO hearing she was committed for 30 days, and we are now completely in the dark with zero information and no way to visit or transfer her - not even her own mother. Absolute nightmare.

This is the exact opposite of our experience when this exact same thing happened before, only in Maryland. There the facility gave us updates, allowed visitors and phone calls, and there was never a legal hearing or involuntary detention. We just dropped off our person and her and us were treated like human beings every step of the way.

We have a stack of legal documents ready for her to sign when she gets out, and IDGAF where we are if this happens again we will drive straight to Maryland and never set foot inside a psych facility or see a psych provider in Virginia ever again.

EDIT: Some of you are helpful and compassionate and that is much appreciated. Some of you really suck at the whole being a human thing and perhaps should be in the tank yourselves.

From Eric Barrett's new book:

>Other bands that Jimi was really into at that time were Eric Clapton’s Cream and Led Zeppelin. He’d play their albums a lot.

I've read a blatzillion Jimi books/articles and never once heard of Hendrix speaking a word about Led Zeppelin.

It's possible that the Tena Bar money was money that Cooper 'gave' to Tina Mucklow. We know that he offered her some and she declined. The theory is that he stuck it in her bag while he was alone prepping to jump, and she freaked out over what to do with it and ended up burying it. Thoughts?

2018 Mini Cooper F56, b48 engine. Often but not always, immediately after a cold start, it will idle rough and sometimes sputter/stall. For a while this would only happen if the car was put into gear (D or R) right away after starting, but now it's been happening just sitting there in Park.

The rough idle will continue even if put it in gear, but goes away once driving commences and does not return until another cold start.

Took it to a shop once and tried to explain the whole bit about putting it into gear right away, but the clerk just wrote "cold start rough idle" on the ticket and sure enough they didn't experience the problem the next day. It happened as I was driving away from the shop.

I put some BG-44K in it once but that doesn't seem to have made a difference.

I was watching the Live in Paris 1970 video and noticed that for the last verse of War Pigs, Ozzy switches to the original Walpurgis lyrics. Was this unique to the Paris show or did this happen more often? Did anyone in the band ever comment on the changed lyrics?

For over 30 years, historians and fans believed that the three nights at the London Marquee in June 1987 were only captured in high-quality audio (used for the Live from the Marquee EP). However, Slash eventually revealed that a complete visual record of this pivotal moment actually exists.

​In interviews surrounding the 2018 Locked N' Loaded reissue of Appetite for Destruction, Slash dropped a bombshell: he owns a private video of one of the Marquee shows. ​He explained that during that first trip to London, an associate or friend of the band - not a professional film crew - followed them around with a video camera for an entire day. Slash eventually had the old magnetic tape transferred to a DVD, which he keeps in his private collection.

​According to Slash, the footage isn't just a bootleg from the crowd; it’s a "day in the life" documentary that captures the band at their most raw and vulnerable. There is footage of the band in their cramped Kensington apartments, surrounded by the "matchstick" wreckage of their furniture-trashing sessions. There is also footage from the Marquee’s legendary, tiny dressing room. The video supposedly shows the band getting ready, dealing with the nerves of their first international show, and the "baptism by spit" they endured from the London punk crowd. The tape also includes the actual performance. This is the only visual record of the band playing the Marquee, where they famously debuted "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" live. You can see the spit flying and the moment Axl stopped the set to confront the crowd.

​Slash has admitted that he has "no idea what to do with it." In his words, the footage is "very raw and very personal". It captures a time when the band was still essentially homeless and struggling. Because it was shot by a friend on a consumer-grade camera, the quality might not meet the standards for a high-def release without significant, expensive restoration.

​The reason people often see "Marquee 1987" videos on YouTube is due to a common mislabeling. High-quality footage of the band in a small club setting exists from August 2, 1987, at the Park Plaza Hotel in LA. This was filmed by Marc Canter during the "Welcome to the Jungle" video shoot.​ The real Marquee video, however, remains locked away in Slash’s house. He once told an interviewer that seeing himself in that footage was "trippy" because they were just "five kids who had no idea they were about to become the biggest band in the world".
