It's Only Tuesday
See, my back pain just isn't letting up. It hurts to drive, to walk, to breathe. I am numb on my left side. Typing sucks. I spent all of last night, flat on my back watching the Big Brother live feeds (this is different from the network show). On Saturday night, I opened my creaky wallet and bought a new chair for my bedroom. This will allow me to be better propped up while typing, reading and listening to music. I can also sleep in it if necessary. I also broke down and made an appointment for a chiropractor, something that absolutely terrifies me. I droop on one side now, so I decided I didn't have much choice. We'll see how that turns out.
Some interesting comments yesterday regarding my notion that Def Leppard is the biggest band of the 80s next to Guns n' Roses. Sorry folks, they just are - in album sales, money earned from endorsement and touring and current relevance. I didn't think this would be a controversial opinion but in a world where everything sets everyone off now, I'm not surprised. Wake me when another glam band becomes a multi-diamond selling artist. Sorry, Bon Jovi only has one of these (Slippery When Wet). Def Leppard has two (Pyromania and Hysteria). There are only 22 artists with more than one diamond selling album. Van Halen has two but I don't count them as a glam band. Never have, really. I do love them all the same. I still argue Def Leppard was - and is - bigger than Van Halen but that might be a better post for #ShotsFiredSunday.
Fun random fact: Garth Brooks has seven diamond selling albums, which is more than the Beatles. Insanity.
