This is one of the worst days of my life…
Seriously.
Anyone who knew me in the 1980s should know that I am a MONSTER Def Leppard Fan. I have wanted in Joe Elliott’s pants since before I would have known what to do once I got there. Joe, if you’re out there…believe me, I know now.
Last week as I was watching Dance with the Stars, I had a WTF moment when they announced that Def Leppard would be singing on the show. Mind you, I love DWTS…and I love Def Leppard…but really, never the two should have met. So I do some checking and sure enough, Def Leppard has a new album er, CD, out today. So ok, any publicity is good publicity they say.
But it gets worse…
I tune in tonight, to have Def Leppard not only be on the show, and yes, it’s still nice to drool over Joe…but…
THEY FREAKING LIP SYNCED “Pour Some Sugar on Me”. This can mean only one thing…
I am old.
I still love Joe.

I didn’t watch it, but now I guess I’m glad I didn’t.

Why does that make you old? I don’t get it.
But yeah, I love def leppard myself. But I can’t stand that dancing show.

@yoshi - when your teenage lust object ends up on a lame ass (by hard living rock star standards) dance show…and then lip syncs on top of that…they are no longer hip/cool…and you, by default, are old.

Yeah…I was disappointed that they went with the canned music for both performances. But on the bright side…Def Leppard has a new CD!

I can’t believe they need a rock band to lip sync for a bunch of losers to waltz to. This is sad on so many levels. And yet people still watch crap like that.
