Now I get it...
At first, I thought it was karma keeping me from using the big CD player, but now I understand...
Eric coming in for lunch, then me having to run the money to the Bosses house, then George being home for the day by the time I got back wasn't "punishment" for what I did earlier. It was God's way of "making" me use these KICKASS headphones (God Bless yer Sweet Butt, too, BlogDog) for these two CD's I got when I went out a while ago. I am sitting here rockin' OUT to Def Leppard's "Vault". This is some serious panty-puddle material here. "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and "Photograph" had my heart POUNDING.I was starved for this music and didn't even know it. Well, Goddamn....
"Two Steps Behind You" was just playing and it's "quiet" enough that I heard Ty barking, so I answered the door and there's the FedEx guy, a day early, with Jr.'s phone!
Then, I got the mail and that tape I ordered the other day when Lifetime pissed me off by showing "Blind Faith" in two parts in the middle of the night without advertising it and I caught the second half is here, too!! Jesus.
Can this day get any better? I got to finally get all the built up, wanna-kill-that-worm-Jose shit out of me, I have two of the best CD's ever produced with which to melt my mind (G-n-R's Greatest Hits is the other one) and, on the very slim chance I ever take these headphones off again, I have one of my favorite movies in all it's original, uncut glory. *'Bout an hour later* Oh, yeah.
I can see where listening to Def Leppard while driving could lead to MASSIVE gas consumption, numerous tickets and THE MOST FUN I'VE HAD IN AGES! I just programmed Jr.'s phone, then ran it down to him at the other farm and I made it there in about .7 seconds.
Made it back here in .5. Goddamn, I've got one helluva an engine under the hood of that car. I knew that, but... now I know know it. Believe me, you haven't driven til you've driven an Interceptor, floored, with Def Leppard blasting into your head.
It's very much the same as listening to "Dark Side of the Moon" while tripping.
A religious experience.... "Let's get, let's get, let's get , let's get ROCKED!!" Yes, let's.
While you pour some sugar on me, along with a few love bites and have a photograph made to commemorate the experience. I can't believe I somehow "lost" this music somewhere along the line.
What HAPPENED to me that I so completely closed myself off from it?
Was I INSANE? This is what's been missing from my life.
This is what I need.
Not weed. I need my heart back.
And, my heart is contained within this music and G-n-R and Ozzy and Whitesnake and so much more I'm probably not able to think of due to "Two Steps Behind" playing in my ears.
(You know how hard it is to think of one song with another one playing...) My heart needs to be alive again.
As do I.
And, I think I've found the right, the LEGAL, way to do that.
Sure as fuck feels like it. And, before I even opened these CD's, I told Eric that it had occured to me and I almost believe it IS possible to feel good without weed. Now... I'm convinced. Not that I never wanna burn one ever agin, but weed hasn't made me feel as good as DefLep blasting does in a looooong time.
Mostly all it does now is make me lethargic and blah.
Very calm, though. DefLep is doing the exact opposite on all counts.
Even the songs I'm not familiar with. Well, hell... I've been halfway to falling in love with these guys after watching Hysteria 42,000 times.
This just completes it. Rick Allen is a GOD.
His drumming is awesome.
It's driving me.
Not crazy, just driving me.
Exciting me.
Motivating me. Then there's the rest of 'em. And, Mutt Lange used to be a genius, producing them so well.
I say "used to be" because he did do one incredibly stupid thing in my eyes... he married that phony fuck Shania Twain.
Whatta lying bitch she is. "Grew up poor" MY ASS. And, if she's so damned "talented", why does she feel compelled to perform nearly naked like she does?
You sure as hell don't see Loretta Lynn, a TRUE TALENT, running around singing dressed like a prostitute. Aw, fuck her.
But... not with MY dick, please. Anyway... I'm outta here. I'll be back when I'm totally stone-deaf. Peace
(Or REALLY LOUD Def Leppard. Whichever does it for ya.)

Glad you like the setup.
Shall I e-mail you the Emm Gryner cover of "Pour Some Sugar On Me"? You wouldn't imagine that it could be done as a big piano ballad, would you?

*too horrified at the thought of such an abomination to even respond, almost*
So, what mean, rotten, nasty thing did Def Lep DO to this person for him or her (hard to tell by the name) to do such a thing to "Pour Some Sugar on Me"?
Murder his/her whole family, including litters of puppies and kittens?
Jesus...
Did Def Lep, or CAN they, sue?
Can I?
I'm thinking along the lines of "willful destruction" or "perpetrating a hate crime" or "crimes against nature"... something like that.
*picks up phone to begin trying to contact Jerry Spence, he of the cool fringed jackets and third-cousin-ness of a certain person I live with...*

Def Lep has praised her version of it.
And if you think "Sugar" is strange that way, you should hear "Crazy Train" on that disc!
(The disc is called "Girl Versions" and her site only streams 4 songs from that CD none of which is either of those.)
You'd be surprised. It may not kick ass rock but it works in a whole 'nother way.

nononononono...*sobbing*
My hand to God, I was thinking, as I typed the last comment, "Well, at least she's leaving Ozzy alone..." and oh, no she ain't.
To me, this is just... criminal.
Then again, I canNOT stand opera, classical, chamber or others of that kinda "artsy" music, so....
And, I don't discriminate, I hate today's watered-down, wussy country, too...
Give me George Jones and Waylon Jennings or give me death... Just please don't make me listen to the aforementioned kinds of objectionable shit. *grin*
The idea of, like, an opera singer doing (read: "destroying") something like, say, "Bark at the Moon" or "Highway to Hell" or somebody turning that kind of hard-edged, head bangin', balls-to-the-wall rockandROLLLL into ball-less, soft, foo-foo music is just more than I can comprehend, fathom or stand.
ewewewEW.
And... why?
I mean, "just because ya can" is hardly a reason, ya know?
So, now I'm curious....
Why do people do these things?
Seriously... is there a point I'm not seeing?
On the surface of it, it makes about as much sense to me as having the hardest core (c)rap group ever (whomever that may be) doing a concert in St. Patrick's Cathedral...
Can you imagine?
"Hey, Baby, I wanna fuck you and yo' mamma while I cap a cop and club baby seals, yeah homey bitch, blah, blah, BARF" *scritchy, scritchy, scratch* (ruining an album, their version of "playing an instrument")" in St. Pat's or the Vatican?
And, before anybody tries to accuse me of hyperbole, this is exactly the same thing to me...
Rap in a cathedral or the Vatican would be totally disrespectful.
And, what this chick is doing is also disrepectful... rippin' the balls offa great rock-n-roll like that and, if you'll check, you'll see I did refer to Def Lep as a "religious experience" earlier... *grin*
But, really... why?
What am I not getting about this?
Surely there must be some kind of compelling reason for these desecrations (and, yup, I did choose this specfic word on purpose)?
