Keeping with our Fall/Winter football theme around here, Def Leppard performs today for the pre-game (which I have dubbed unofficial “half-time”) show for the NFL International series in London, Dolphins verses the Raiders. When I find the clip, I’ll update this and post it. Oh and the good news is that Vivian Campbell, guitarist for Def Leppard, will continue his treatments for Hodgkins Lymphoma, prompting him to do my favorite pastime – go shopping at Target! I just knew we had something in common! Seriously folks I’m not kidding, last week, he issued a message on the band’s website saying “I’ll be admitted to hospital soon for all the yucky bits [of a planned stem cell transplant] so in the meantime I’m headed to Target to stock up on cozy pajamas, fresh underwear, and a sackful of car-porn.” Oh I so wish I was near that Target as I’m pretty sure I could help him pick out all … well all but the car-porn as I’m not quite sure that that is. But the bad news? Viv said his treatment plans will prevent him from performing today, and likewise at some newly publicized shows in October and November, those shows being at casinos around California. He says he’ll be back next year, with hair no less, but in the meantime I thought about one of us playing with them, you know… holding it down for our friend Viv. So … boys, how about it? Play with Phil, Joe, Sav, and Rick? Raise your hand if you want to! Darn, I wish I was better; my hand would be up by the next downbeat of Rick Allen’s drum!
