If you want that free Dr. Pepper…
Dr. Pepper is making good on their promise for a free bottle of their soda for every American (save for Slash and Buckethead) because Axl Rose has finally finished his opus Chinese Democracy.

I am one
John in the Morning kicked off my day by playing "I Am One," from the debut Smashing Pumpkins record Gish, which, IHMO, is the only Smashing Pumpkins worth a listening damn (bring on the flames).
