Want some Hippy Repellent? 😆

❓

Ozzy - Crazy Train

Soul Asylum - Runaway Train

Life on Earth will end soon and they want to get their plays in? 🤔

Sadly, too many people don't use logic and lose their groove...

Not in my mind! 🤣

There's a 7/11 on a street in Portland that used to get a lot of homeless/meth-heads sitting right out front which, needless to say, made customers very nervous and less willing to enter. They started blaring opera (the kind where the fat lady sings) into their parking lot. Made a big difference! 😆

You really like your ewes! Are you Welsh? 😁

Yeah! I didn't get big until I was in my 40's... 😜

Rush - Xanadu

😁

First World problems? 😮 Check out the sentences I highlighted! Most of us take forever to find a box we saved in our garage!

Reminds me of this quote which George used to start a video with: 😆

Shouldn't this page contain lots of songs like Iron Maiden's the Number of the Beast? 😈

So, are you guys implying that marriage isn't a word, it's a sentence? 🤔

As long as it's only 1/4 envy and not full envy! 😆

Never tried "that" measurement before! 😆 For me, measuring from that first crease on the wrist right below the palm to the tip of my middle finger is almost dead on 8" (maybe a 1/32nd of an inch short of that). I've never played a 6-string bass (had a 4-string and a 5-string), or any guitar with more than six strings (I used a Schecter Scorpion 6-string baritone instead of a 7-string guitar). That said, I've never blamed my playing inadequacies on being too long! 🤣🤣🤣

I've always called them Van Halen and Van Hagar. Old trivia: I actually was in a very popular West Hollywood club hanging out with Eddie when Dave arrived unexpectedly and proceeded to be a complete narcissistic a-hole (he jumped on the DJ's mike to announce that he was looking at all the women to see which ones he would be taking home). He never came over to Eddie or even acknowledged him (heck, 99% of the entire club didn't even know Eddie was there which is exactly what he wanted since he was just getting out while Valerie was back in New York filming an episode for Family Ties that was never to be aired). Eddie shook his head and said "Sorry, I've got to get out of here..." and that was the last time I ever saw him there. This was in 1985 not too long before the break-up which definitely didn't shock me after what I saw! Side-note: So, how was I so lucky as to hang-out with Eddie a few times? Well, it certainly had nothing to do with music! He never even knew that I could spell guitar let alone play one (and we had just opened for Blue Oyster Cult the previous year). One day he pulled up to the door of the club in his white Lambo (his two body-guards pulled up in a non-descript car behind him) right behind me in my sports car. While waiting for the valets, I made a "Very nice!" comment about his ride just when one of the waitresses (who I had been dating came out). He realized I was "safe" and we had some nice chats at the bar while the body-guards stood behind us keeping fans away. The family on my Mom's side are all Dutch (my grandfather came over during WWII) and many are named Van Heulen, so we talked about the Netherlands (where he was born) and golf. The only music-related topic ever talked about was how he grew up playing piano! His father was apparently quite the musician as well. A really nice (if very short compared to my 6'4" frame) guy. Roth? Not so much. Never met Dave nor wanted to. I'd have a drink with Sammy though! 🙂

And the meme to go along with that one! 😁

Nice thought, but, no. I believe his first members were before electricity was discovered... 🤔 😜
