Def Leppard Drummer Attacked In Front Of Florida Hotel
Def Leppard was in town for a show with Motley Crue.
First of all, how in hell could you attack Rick Allen of Def Leppard? Second, it freaking happened. Looks like Rick was taking a smoke break outside the Four Seasons Hotel in Fort Lauderdale on Monday. That’s when police say a 19-year-old man approached him and assaulted him.
Allen, the beloved 59-year-old Def Leppard drummer told investigators that he and his band were in Fort Lauderdale to play a show on their current tour with Motley Crue at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino over the weekend. When he took a break for a cigarette outside the hotel on Monday, the drummer said the suspect ran toward him at full speed, knocking him to the ground, causing injuries. Investigators say a woman who was inside the hotel during the attack rushed outside to help Allen, but the man knocked her down, too. When the woman tried to escape, the report says the suspect chased her into the hotel lobby, dragged her back out and then continued to hit her until leaving the scene shortly afterward. The suspect, later identified as a 19-year-old man from Ohio, was quickly located and arrested at a nearby hotel.
The man was charged with elder abuse, battery and criminal mischief. He was later released on bail. When asked about the incident as he was leaving jail, the suspect refrained from comment. Allen, who lost his left arm in a car accident back in the 1980s, was interviewed by police and he told them he wanted to man to be prosecuted. We’re right there with you, Rick. Sorry about your terrible experience with that guy. Trust me, the rest of us love what you do! Source: BlabberMouth.net
Cheap Flights Alert!
5 Cheap Airfare Deals from Tampa for Under $200 Round Trip
It’s not a popular travel season, but if you can take some vacation days, this is a great time of year to score a flight deal. Kids are still in school so leisure travel drops off and the airlines want to fill those empty seats so they know they have to cut prices. Here are 5 cities I love to visit that you can fly round trip right now for $200 or less.
All of these flights I found by searching the dates April 5 through April 12. Midweek flights are often where you’ll find the bargains. Keep in mind too many of these airlines nickel and dime you by charging for things like a carry on bag, picking your seat or having a snack on the plane.
If you can pack light, you’ll save a lot. I found a “personal item” size bag on Amazon for $10 that let me avoid even bringing on a typical carry on size bag for short trips or visits where I can easily get my laundry done. If you’re not one who can travel light, the crazy thing is you’ll often find a check in size piece of luggage is cheaper than a carry on!
Carrie Underwood Is A Head Banger!
Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny.
That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards.
After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind.
He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex.
He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
