My Leo Power Up Day and Three Tune Tuesday Combo!
This Tuesday is an interesting one, not only is it a Three Tune Tuesday but it's also a Leo Power Up Day. Also for us in the United States, it's also tax day (which of course royally sucks...) But at least the first two aren't too bad! So, to kick off the fun I powered up some LEO this morning at just before six in the morning. I tend to get an early start, never did kick that old Army habit.
So just over 152 LEO powered up, not too bad for the month!
Next up, it's time to dive into Three Tune Tuesday! First off thanks to @ablaze for starting and continuing to sponsor this fun weekly event. If you don't already participate feel free to jump in and share three tunes you enjoy. All you need to do is include the tag #ttt or #threetunetuesday and it's never a bad idea to do a shoutout to @ablaze . One random participant will win some HSBI units, which are never a bad thing as they are the gift that keeps on giving.
Being a LEO Power Up Day I was thinking of a big cat theme, so I think I found some good options. Let's get busy!
Def Leppard
Def Leppard are a band out of Sheffield, England formed in 1976. Their front man Joe Elliot joined the band after missing his bus home one day, and ran into the band's manager while walking home. After an audition, he fronted the band into the hall of rock and roll legends. In 1983 they released Pyromania which did well in sales, but in 1987 they released Hysteria which made them rock and roll gods. There were multiple hits on the album, and one of the biggest was "Pour Some Sugar On Me":
White Lion
You will note another big cat song, this time with an actual lion! lol This band formed in 1983 fronted by Danish singer Mike Tramp. He started in Denmark, moved to Spain, and eventually New York City where he formed the band White Lion. While they never were a huge band like the first pick of the day, they did have a few good songs. In 1987 they released the album Pride which spawned the big hit "Wait" which I'm sharing today. It's a pretty good song, and you can enjoy the very big hair from the 1980's!
John Cougar Mellencamp
Active in the music business since 1974, this Indiana native hit the charts in 1982 with his album American Fool. Since then he has become a music rock n roll legend with multiple hits throughout the eighties and into the nineties. In 1983 he released the album Uh-Huh that contained this famous anti-authority song, aptly named "Authority Song". Being tax day and all, I thought it fit perfectly!
Dire Straits
Bonus time! @cryptounicorn420 got this song stuck in my head by one the great bands from the 1980's. This was from the early days of MTV back when they actually played music videos 24/7. If you hear the background voice you will recognize Sting, just a fun tidbit. This band became huge and were inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame in 2018. Sadly, they haven't performed in many long years, mostly because front man Mark Knopler felt they just became too big and didn't enjoy that much fame. But a classic song, "Money For Nothing" the original version without a verse cut out. If you know the song you know what I mean!
That will wrap up this edition of Three Tune Tuesday and a Leo Power Up Day. I hope you enjoyed it! If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them below, and thank you so much for your support. Have a great day everyone!

Some awesome tunes today.
Over here many people thought of Dire Straits as being for the older people to like!
They sure cranked out the hits though.
Thanks for mentioning LPUD, I had forgotten about it as I only use leo for @mmonline posts and paused it for the timebeing with premium subscription etc.
Thanks! It was fun! Mark knew how to play that guitar though, what a guitarist...

It's crazy to think that some of those bands have been together longer than I have been alive. I never would have guessed they had been together or making music since that time. Great stuff today and nice job on your LEO power up. I forgot it was that event today. Even though I clearly know the date :P
The IRS knows this date all too well! lol A lot of these guys are old men now, kind of sad that we're catching up to them so fast... Any exciting plans for this upcoming weekend?
Heading down to watch my niece play softball, then driving back up to hopefully catch a baseball game if the weather holds, then finally on Sunday I am doing Easter brunch with my wife's family. Might get some work done on the trailer in between all that too!
How about you?
Not much to be honest, kid is grown and has a girlfriend so it's all me! I may go down to the pier and try some fishing,
Sounds like a perfect day to be honest! I'm hoping to get out and do some more fishing this summer.
Nice tune from John Mellencamp for tax day!😇
As a newly licensed pilot, I flew into his hometown of Bloomington, Indiana, just to say I was there Lol!😇
I've been to Indiana exactly one time, that was when I was driving through when I was moving to Pennsylvania! It would be more fun flying in though just for fun!
John Mellencamp was nowhere to be found at the airport Lol, but it is beautiful country!!😀
Great tunes you've got there.
Thanks!

Dude I love the song WAIT & LITTLE FIGHTEE by White Lion!!!!!
it’s funny cause that scene isn’t really my thing overall but I heard them on a mix tape a buddy put mostly nineties punk on and for some reason he loved White Lion and put those two songs on. I was just singing it last week! That’s funny!
There eighties album cover was on point! Album title - Big Game
It sure is a big game!
Nice! Good old White Lion!

the white lion song is a very classic one
How appropriate to listen to “White Lion” on Leo Power Up Day, it may become a habit.
That is a nice Leo Power Up you have done
