razzle ’n’ a dazzle ’n’ a flash a little light

So I’m going through the pantry the other day, looking for expired cans of sirloin burger Chunky to donate to the local food drive for that last-second tax credit like you all do too so stop judging me, when all of the sudden and out of the blue, enlightenment shone its shiny light on me:

All Def Leppard songs really do kind of sound alike.

So mom, I’m sorry.

You told me as much 20 years ago when I begged to see them on the Hysteria tour at the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum but you didn’t feel like taking me even though Tesla was the opening act and I bet they played Little Suzi and held the microphone out over the audience to let them sing the “Little Suzi’s on the up” part and everything.

You were right, but I didn’t listen back then. The kids never do, I suppose. Time, though, has opened both my eyes and my ears.

Time, and also the “greatest hits” CD I just bought.

We realize too late the wisdom of our parents. I only wish I'd listened to my dad in the 80's when he told me Madonna was nothing but a "Minnie Mouse-sounding slut". I would have saved so much money on tapes.

It's the one-armed drummer. It's all his fault.

Why would you pick a one-armed drummer to start with?

My mum said Britney would end up in a nuthouse, rocking in the corner covered in her own vomit. Oh how I laughed at the time and pressed rewind on "Hit me baby one more time", one more time!!
