I would like to dedicate the following rant to Joe Elliott and the Def Leppard family. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Recently, I have heard that Joe Elliott's father passed away earlier today after a lengthy illness. So, with Rick Allen having a Facebook page and a lot of people sending their condolences for Joe there, I decided to send mine as well. Now, out of shear boredom, I scroll through to see previous posts from yesterday and so forth and this one post I saw just about drove me up the wall and that is what this rant is about today. This b*tch had the audacity to say that it was the third time they'd bought tickets to one of their shows and the show was cancelled. Well, sh*t, excuse them for putting family first! You'd put something off too if someone in your family was sick. For f*ck's sake, they're only human! They would rather be playing shows than having a family member die, but that's the way this b*tch called life is, and you're complaining about them cancelling shows!? You heartless b*stard. I've had family members pass away and I've put other things on hold to deal with the loss. Christ, school is nice enough to let you off a week for grieving. It's f*cking hard on others to hold off on things for family reasons. People would rather not miss work, bands would rather not cancel tour dates, but they have to. We all take time off work and school if our loved ones are ill and need us. That's all Joe is doing, d*mmit! Family comes first. Always. You boys take all the time you need. Your true fans will wait patiently.
