The Joe Elliott Show - 24th November Quotes
"Evening everybody and welcome to the Joe Elliott Show right here on Planet Rock. It's 6 O'Clock and it's Saturday night and am coming to you this week all the way from Phoenix, Arizona where I have been spending a little bit of down time over Thanksgiving with my American in laws. So dedicating this track to everybody out there that's got a very cool mother in law. This is U.F.O."
"And that my friends is about it for this week all the way from Phoenix, Arizona. I shall be back with you next Saturday 6 O'Clock probably from LA where the Leps are going to be doing a little bit of business undercover as it were. But I will still always have time to put this show together because to be quite honest it's just way too much fun."
