Slash-solo gag, worship-session vision, handicap-space bit
- Is it illegal to stand in a handicap space if you're not handicapped?
After 'Be Lifted High,' the hosts joke about bringing Slash in for a 'November Rain'-style guitar solo, or hiring a long-haired 'Papa Shango' rocker with a swappable wig instead ('like Ben suggested'). They pitch live worship sessions in the prayer rooms with crowds, then riff on a long-haired rocker standing in a handicap parking space, asking whether it's illegal to stand in one if you're 'not a handy' — answered with 'if you're keeping someone from parking there.'
