Got a little story I think friends like you will enjoy.My son comes home from work and asks me, "do you know a band called Def Leppard?" And I, of course say, "yeah- why?". He says, "I need to learn a song and I have a week to do it".That was kind of strange, since my son recently started working full time for a company he had been interning at part time while finishing up his graphic design de...

According to Mog's weekly music reccomendation, "Anna recommends Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard." I would like to thank Anna for bringing this album to my attention, since I have not listened to it since I wore it out in 6th grade. It was a peculiar time in my musical development since I soon was on a steady diet of hair metal that was to last until "grunge" slapped me into my senses. Ye...

This will be the 3rd or 4th time I see Def Leppard in concert. First time at a venue as big as the Tweeter Center, which is kind of a downer because it isn't as intimate of a setting and I won't be as close to Vivian Campbell.

The third and final band I picked up in drama class in 1983 for $4. I bought the cassette Pyromania by Def Leppard. It was...how can words describe? It changed my world.

Truthfully, I saw "Photograph" first, which, incidentally, wa...

I've really been enjoying the book The Cook's Encyclopedia of Thirty Minute Cooking by Jenni Fleetwood. I just became the first to review it over at amazon - am I the only one who enjoys being the first reviewer of something? I think I received it as a gift, and I'd recommend it as a good one.I bought my first santoku knife last week, which I'm psyched about. It works great for dicing, chopping...
