No, seriously:

The winner? Grandparents. Axl did beat out Clint Eastwood, Mick Jagger, and Julie Andrews though. Take THAT, Mary Poppins.

Two things:

1) Though I may be biased because I've played the guitar ever since I was very young, I was always a staunch Slash man. But still:
2) I'm constantly amazed by how much staying power GnR *still* has after all these years. But I ain't complaining. Smile

I wanted to add: this actually really surprised me... in this day and age I would've thought it would be a sports or rap star.

Yeah, I was really surprised too. I love Axl, but the guy hasn't done all that much in the last ten years and although new generations of rock fans continue to fall in love with AFD and UYI, I never thought that girls who read cheesy teen magazines would be among those fans.

Also, I found it kinda funny. Once Axl hears he's considered a cool "old" person, he'll probably freak out for a couple months and stop work on Chinese Democracy.
