Joe Elliott | Def Leppard | Who Do You Love | Unofficial Video

Описание: I’ve never gone in depth about this before on here, as I’m usually sharing for everybody in general.

My crush on Joe Elliott goes back to 1983, when I was only 8 years old. Prior to Joe, David Cassidy was my big crush.

I first heard Def Leppard on KGON FM in Portland, Oregon. It was 1982, and Pyromania had not yet been released. KGON was playing songs off of High ‘N’ Dry, and the first Def Leppard song I heard was “Let It Go”. I would not forget the name of the band, so when we got MTV in mid-1983 & I saw the video for “Photograph”, I immediately fell in love with Joe. My mom is a huge collector of Marilyn Monroe, and I started to become fascinated with her when I was seven. Seeing that video, on top of what has become such a timeless hit, I found out that Joe also loved Marilyn. It really tied it all together for me, but I knew that he was just always going to be a fantasy. Then I heard that his birthday is 1 August! My birthday is 3 August, so with my eight-year-old mind I imagined that Joe and I could just get married on 2 August, so we could celebrate our anniversary with our two birthdays together.

Over the years, my crush on Joe has never faded. Instead, I learn more about the man and find him to be what a man should be. He’s not only wise and witty, but he’s very strong, perseverant, courageous, determined, and he’s also a very positive example.

I love listening to him in interviews! I think my favorite recent interview is on Fly on the Wall, a podcast by Dana Carvey and David Spade (ep. 31 July 2024). I won’t give anything away about the episode any further, but I highly suggest that you check it out. Fly on the Wall is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, but you can also listen on YouTube. Just search YouTube for “Fly on the Wall Joe Elliott”.

What’s your favorite thing about Joe?

~Much love & rock on ❤️🤘
