...good weed enhances...
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.
except the original lyrics didn't go like that...
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.
Also this:
They should have gone with that one.
Roar!
We always used to sing .... "Where the girls are green and the grass is pretty"
Oz?
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)

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)
🎵 Take me down to the Paradise City,
Where the women are men,
But they got big titties. 🎵
"Take me down to the paradise city where the chicks have dicks and the men have titties!"
🎵 Oh won't you please let me bone 🎵
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.
