Now you know that this is a concert that even I would be able to pass up. And they’re coming to Blossom, too. Woot.

Def Leppard, Poison, and Cheap Trick are joining up for a what I’m calling an “Economic Crisis Package Tour“. The tour involves all three bands touring together for an 80′s extravaganza that will have each band performing their classic hits (and some new stuff) for one low price.

They must know times are tough!

Joe Elliott says, “We’re going out with three bands, which limits the amount of time we can play to about 90 minutes. When you do your greatest hits and some new material or extra stuff you might throw in, you have got to push and shove and clamp down.”

Nice. I guess when Lily feels she’s hit the big time, she wants to arrive for a show in style….and so she did.

Apparently the super-producer, Mark Ronson offered jokingly (or so he says) to buy Lily Allen “anything you want, a car, a driver, a helicopter” when she agreed to perform at Glastonbury last year. He says that he was stunned that she called him on it and had her assistant call him with the $10,000 bill.

He says, “She completely took me seriously! And what was I going to say at that point? I had to f**king pay for it. She got the helicopter.”

Hey, I’d say don’t offer a chopper and be stunned when you get the bill. You offered, Mark. You said, “Anything you want”. What else ya got?
