Almost 30 years later, and I am still getting goosebumps when I think of going to a Van Halen concert. It was 1978 the first time I saw them in concert, and tomorrow night will be my 15th Van Halen concert. Dude! That trips me out, thinking how long ago that was.

The walls in my bedroom were pale yellow when I was a teenager, and I hated that color. I still have an aversion to yellow, and I’m sure that is what made me that way. I bought every Van Halen poster I could find at Spencer Gifts, or The Record Shop, and tacked them up side-by-side on my walls, hiding that putred color.

I’ve seen Van Halen with David Lee Roth of course, and I’ve seen them with Sammy Hagar. I’ve even seen them with Gary Cherone, but I’ve NEVER seen them without Michael Anthony! He is the bassists and always will be to me. But the thought of seeing Wolfie (Eddie’s son) playing bass on stage excites the hell out of me.

Valerie was pregnant with Wolfgang when I was pregnant with J.R. and my friends and I would talk about how cool it would be to deliver our babies on the same day. (stalker) It didn’t quite work out that way, because Wolfie was born in March, and Julian, I mean J.R. was born in May.

I fought long and hard for the name Julian, and ultimately lost the battle. To this day I still ask J.R. to change his name to Julian. He isn’t going for it. Ooops, I just let out a Top Secret Tuesday secret on a Thursday, and totally got off topic.

Oh well…I’ll be rocking out to Eruption, And The Cradle Will Rock, Why Can’t This Be Love, and Jump tomorrow night. Call me on my cell, and I’ll let you listen You know you will be calling Mr. Fab!
