Photograph was played live during the MLB All star starting lineup announcements! A lot of Lep representation on the All Star Game tonight - also played ROA during the intro (including a name drop as well as RRHOF reference from the announcer) and they just played PSSOM to conclude the 7th inning. Now if we can just get them to play the Super Bowl. |

This very random Leppard item popped up on my news feed today, courtesy of Fox2Now:
PEOTONE TOWNSHIP, Ill. – The Illinois Department of Transportation is asking their Facebook fans to verify the name of a lagoon located in northern Illinois. A Google Maps search result shows Def Leppard Lagoon located along Rock Creek in Peotone Township, Illinois.
“We were double-checking a location on the map and stumbled across this interesting place name, southwest of Peotone. Does anyone have a Photograph of this or is the map just Foolin’? Def Leppard,” writes the Illinois Department of Transportation.
The lagoon with the interesting name is located near the broadcast tower for Bible Broadcasting Network station WCPQ. Google lists the radio station location as WBUS-FM. The call letters have changed several times over the years. The last time the station was called “The Bus” was in the 1980s and 1990s when it played rock music.
A post to a fishing forum from 2015 sheds some light on the area, “You can find it, but I don’t think you can find it by googling for it as a phrase, and it’s not really a lagoon. It just happened to be the closest spot that FishMap had for me to check out for Rainbow Darters and Southern Redbelly Dace. Neither of which I found while there, unfortunately. It’s a small spot on the Rock Creek as it passes under S. Center Road SW of Peotone.”
(What is it about Illinois and Leppard? Billboards and now lagoons ...)

Based on process of elimination, I can't imagine Rick, Phil, or Vivian ever wearing these. So either Sav or Joe ... maybe Joe, as a throwback to the infamous ripped jeans? |

Just got home after a long roadtrip. And what pops up on my newsfeed before I head to bed? This:
UDiscover Music's Best Male Rock Singers: A Top 100 Countdown of Legendary Vocalists.
11: Joe Elliott
Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott has an extremely versatile larynx that still allows him to reach the high notes on classic tracks such as ‘Photograph’, ‘Rock Of Ages’, ‘Bringin’ On The Heartbreak’ and ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’. Talent and aptitude are obviously the main ingredients, but Elliott has also been careful to preserve his voice over four decades, working with a vocal coach and doing warm-up routines which keep him in top form. “My vocal range has improved by actually just going down in register,” he told US radio station WSFL in 2018. “I think that just comes through age, experience and maturity, I suppose.”
Check out: ‘Hysteria’
He made it to number 11 on a list of 100. I thought that was pretty freaking cool, especially given how hard he's always worked since, per Joe's own words "when God gave out throats, I got kicked out of the room."

Can I get a rare song into the set, Ahem! , on his July 27th radio show Joe said he would have 10 days off after the Canadian tour ended on July 31st. So.... August 1st - August 10th = days off. Today should be the band's first work day. |
