A few weeks ago, I was being haunted by a Duran Duran song that was playing everywhere I went. A song that was decades old was audible in all kinds of settings with such frequency that I couldn’t ignore it. It was kind of unsettling, really, because it was nonstop, but I thought it through, think I finally understood what I was supposed to get out of it…and it stopped.
In the last 24 hours, it’s been Def Leppard everywhere: at dinner, sitting in a rental car office, out of a car driving by, out shopping. After getting my car back from the body shop, my iPod was still sitting on my desk at work, so I had to listen to the radio on the drive to work and heard 3 Def Leppard songs on 3 different stations on my VERY short drive to work. Really?
But it’s not all the same song…so what’s the message in that? Is it to remember a feeling? An era? A person? To pay homage to hearing impaired felines?? I don’t know, still pondering all that, but here’s some abso-freakin-lutely brilliant Def Leppard, their signature sound evident right off the bat.
