DEF, DUMB, AND BLIND: Def Leppard was my favorite band throughout my childhood, although I didn't even hear about their concert at Irving Plaza on Tuesday until after the fact. So you can imagine my surprise when I read Dan Aquilante's review in the New York Post- and I was even more surprised when I got to this line (since corrected in the online edition): "But soon the guitar interchanges between Phil Collin and Steve Clark had the necessary crunch." Kind of interesting to read that, since Steve Clark DIED IN 1990! How can Aquilante know that Steve Clark was the guitarist of Def Leppard, and not know that he's dead? He might as well have written "Rick Allen did a great job drumming with both arms."
