Bonus Topic: Def Leppard cancels final leg of tour
Ben: Why is Def Leppard still touring? Haven't they seen Spinal Tap? Are they still the only band in the world with a torso-less drummer? Granddad Rock is best served in an elevator. Unless they're touring old folks homes, they need to cry at a podium, then shut it down forever.
Skin: That's better than the headline "Rick Allen cancels final arm." It's definitely very Spinal Tap-ish of them to cancel their third leg of the tour. I bet Beavis and Butthead found that amusing. It was pretty genius of the band to use the hip-hop slang "def" in their name several years before Rick Rubin got a hold of it. I wish Rick Rubin had never turned the Cult into AC/DC. I wish AC/DC had decided to call it quits once the great Bon Scott died. I wish AC/DC producer Mutt Lange had never gotten a hold of Def Leppard and made them a household name. I wish I knew what "gunter glieben glauchen globen" meant. I wish I hadn't wasted so much of my early teens listening to bad rock music.
Ben: I wish "Thunder Guy" hadn't ruined AC/DC for people who like basketball. Too bad he couldn't have ruined Otis Day and the Knights instead. They weren't even real. Maybe the bizarre confusion would've somehow spared the Isley Brothers from a direct hit.
Skin: I loves me some Isleys. I wish I had Ronald Isley's voice. I'd always be walking around singing "well, well, well." When I try and do it, people think I'm imitating a malfunctioning Ronald Reagan Robot. Ronald Reagan Robot came at the tail end of the Isleys' glory period. In fact, I think the Reagan Robot era was in reaction to the funky Isley boys. They had one last Hail Mary with "Between the Sheets," but then Reagan Robot dispatched Nancy Reagan to an episode of Diff'rent Strokes to divert attention away from that great tune. Thank God Biggie did what he had to do to keep it alive. Wow, sometimes I confuse even myself.
