Mikaela and I went to the Denver Art Museum today and I found myself singing Photograph while we were driving home. It has to be the song for today! I think I was singing it because we ended our trip to the museum in the Photography wing. Makes sense! ;)
The first time I heard Def Leppard I was in 7th grade and they hit the U.S. big with "Pour Some Sugar on Me". Didn't know what the song meant then, know what it means now so you'll never see it land on this experiment! 'Nuf said. :) But what that song did was introduce me to Def Leppard and I fell in love with their music. I even went backwards to listen to their albums that were made before I even knew they existed. Photograph would be one of those songs that stuck. A few years ago Lanny and I were watching a documentary on Def Leppard and they were talking in depth about this song and why they wrote it. Actually the video explains it pretty good. Around the time they composed the song some killer had been caught in England and viola! a song was born.
I confess I still love Def Leppard. Their lyrics are blatant and now that I'm an adult and get them I am appalled but old habits die hard and they are an old habit. Fortunately I like them more for their music than their lyrics!
