98.5 KOME – Fan Blog

Yes, you read that right…. all you 80′s rock fans, those of us who loved hearing Hysteria and Pyromania on the radio get to go and see the bands on tour, oh yeah.

I am a total and unabashed Def Lep fan, no ands if or buts about it. Now will I be a bit taken back by seeing my boyz on stage a bit greyer, a bit older, maybe. The whole they grew older thing kind of gives the old ticker a kick start but, I am cool. I never got to see them in concert when they were a big deal, but always wanted to so now is my chance.
