You know, it’s been awhile but it has finally happened. It happened tonight while I was at the EZ Shop on 41 getting ready to go into the store and get a bottled water while talking to my wife Denise on the cell. You know, the type of bottled water that the TV commerical states “Two hours in the meeting, forever in the landfill”. Well, they forgot to add the 1 day it will stay in my trash can before it gets picked up by the garbage men. ;P … Anyway back to the story. I heard a continuous car horn blaring at the stoplight. It sounded like a car accident getting ready to happen or trying not to happen. So everyone in the parking lot at the EZ Shop turned and looked toward the stoplight and there was a car turning sharply heading south onto 41. The horn was still blaring!! And then I saw what all the commotion was about. There in the passenger side front seat window was a large naked ass!!! We all had been mooned!!!

Man that brought memories of when we used to get out of high school and my friend David Lutz would ride in the passenger seat of my 1976 Buick Century and moon people!!! We used to do it all the time!!! What great memories those are. We would do the same thing. Blow the horn, have people look and then David would jump up with his bare naked ass and moon them!!!

In today’s world were we have Xboxes, instant communication and super fast lives, it’s good to know that some kids can still have fun the old fashion way and ride around with their ass hanging out of a car window!!! No harm, no foul. Just a tradition that lives on!!! And if by chance those young people that did that happen to read this … You keep up the good fight and never trust anyone over 30.

peace out

Van Halen 1 & 2

OK, well I just put both albums together as one, mainly because these albums both captured the spirit and party feel of Van Halen. After these albums, things started to unwind in the band and they lost their magic. “Magic,” meaning to me that all the albums after these though OK, didn’t hold a candle to the first two. Van Halen 1 & 2 rocked from the first song until the last song!! I remember listening to “Eruption” for the first hundred times and thought how in the hell did he make a guitar sound that way? Those dive bombs, shit, they kicked major ass! From the opening track from Van Halen 1 “Running with the Devil” to the closing track on Van Halen 2 “Beautiful Girls”, these albums rock and still stand the test of time. Eddie’s guitar playing has inspired thousands of guitarists to sit in their rooms in stead of playing football and try to hammer out his solos. David Lee Roth’s smooth vocals on the semi-somewhat-love song “Jamie’s Cryin” is over the top too!!

I can’t leave without bringing up some more of Van Halen 2. “Dance the night away” is an awesome rock pop song that went to # 15 on Billboards Rock charts back in 1979. I used to sit in my room and listen to these on 8-track tapes over and over and over and over, you get the picture. :) Before we go any further, I have to “thank” Gene Simmons for discovering Van Halen and funding the first album and thankfully, taking some bad advice and “opting out” on signing them while we are at it. He wanted to rename Van Halen to “Daddy Shortlegs”…haha. What a moron that Gene is…Anyway, you might have Van Halen 1984 in your collection, but if you don’t have these two in there along with it, you not worthy of any ice cream from the “Ice Cream Man”. I rate both these albums together as one and give them “8 toes in the sand” out of 10 …
