AN UNLIKELY BUT COMPLETELY AWESOME PAIRING WAS REVEALED ON THIS DATE BACK IN 2012 WHEN A GREATER LOS ANGELES ZOO ASSOCIATION COMMERCIAL AIRED FOR THE FIRST TIME FEATURING ANIMAL LOVERS BETTY WHITE AND SLASH..YEAH…THE ICONIC GOLDEN GIRL AND GNR GUITARIST! IT WAS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF REGIONAL COMMERCIALS TO PROMOTE THE OPENING OF THE ZOO’S LAIR…AN ACRONYM FOR LIVING AMPHIBIANS, INVERTABRATES AND REPTILES…SO WHY THE WILDLY FUN AND UNUSUAL PAIRING? BOTH BETTY AND SLASH  WERE BOTH TRUSTEES OF THE NON PROFIT GREATER LOS ANGELESE ZOO ASSOCIATION…AND BETTY WHITE WAS A PIONEERING ANIMAL RIGHTS ADVOCATE WHO DEDICATED A HUGE PART OF HER LIFE, OVER 5 DECADES WORTH, TO IMPROVING CONDITIONS AT THAT ZOO…SERIOUSLY…THE LATE-GREAT BETTY WHITE WAS A GIFT TO ALL OF US, AND SLASH…WELL….HE IS PRETTY AWESOME TOO…THE LEAD SINGLE OFF OF GNR’S DEBUT ALBUM BACK IN 1987 SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE MUSIC BED FOR THE BETTY WHITE – SLASH ZOO COMMERCIALS…”WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE”…IT IS TODAY’S ROXY’S ROCK REWIND!

NOW CHECK OUT THE FABULOUSLY PERFECT PAIRING OF BETTY & SLASH ….ENJOY!
