Fantastic fucking job, passing on the legacy of CVH to the young and uninformed. I hope the lesson sticks.

Not too long ago I'd carry some CDR's of CVH hits to pass along to the masses, much as you did. I'd hand them out to Tool fans, NiN and Slayer fans and I'd run into them weeks later and they would thank me for turning them on to good music. About 9 out of 10 of them would tell me they went out and bought some CVH CDs.

Radio has failed us. Word of mouth is paying off in dividends though.

That kicks ass sir, Nothing like spreading the word of Roth.

Alan the Panther is God.... but Pojo rocks in his own way.

**POJO_Risin** · 12-29-2005, 02:23 AM

I actually gave him my own copy of Fair Warning...got another one around here somewhere...

It's funny how many VH originals I have laying around here...

Who is this POJOker that everyone is talking about? Oh, wait...isn't he some poor, misguided Tribe fanatic (should be spelled Phanatic)... :-)

**DlocRoth** · 12-29-2005, 04:00 AM

Nicely done, sir....

But you're still not a God....

No offense.... roflmao...

You've learned them the best lesson in life!

**jero** · 12-29-2005, 04:51 AM

And that deserves 5 stars!!

I work with several people in their twenties. Anyway, they always try to stump me on music, pre-90's of course. lol Anyway, it's a well known fact what a DLR fan I am. Fuckin' little dipshits come in my office and ask who sang what when they hear a certain song on the classic rock radio. Almost bitchslapped a dude across the hall when he ran in after lunch (asskissing) and told me how stellar Dave sounded singing "Right Now It's When Can't This Be Love?"

Fuckin' kids have no clue. Pisses me off cos when I was a child, a fuckin' KID I tells ya, I knew who The Stones, Doors, Who and Beatles were and could name their fucking songs to boot!!!

Do you really wanna know how clueless these kids (only a decade or so younger than us) truly are? Try arguing with them that The Fucking Beatles didn't sing nor write "Everybody Want's To Rule The World." True fucking story and I shit you not.

Radio sucks out here, they only play "Jump" once in a blue moon...

But luckily, only a wafer thin marginal knows about (Van) Hagar.

and we get onto the topic of Stern's move...

and ultimately end up on Roth...

At the pool table next to us are a three punks...early 20's...and they catch onto our conversation...and we begin the topic or Roth...

They're take...literally?

"Who is this guy anyways...some 60 year old like Imus..."

So the education commences...

We discuss the early years of Van Halen...which they knew nothing about...barely knew the music...they're old time bands????? Guns and Roses...Van Halen is a non-entity...so we get upto 85...and they are intrigued with this Rock and Roll band...actually...intrigued that Rock and Roll was such a center stage...so I skip to 1996...and I get...

"So, they disappeared after they broke up in 1985..."

I had 2 directions to go in...so...

"Yeah...they broke up in 1985...and resurfaced in 1996...with 2 songs and a greatest hits album..."

I had them going with that until my buddy...a faggot that likes Hagar...says...no...they moved on with Sammy Hagar...

anyways...

I've got my new IPod in my pocket...already loaded with every classic VH tune...and some boots...and let them listen while we're continuing our pool game...

First reaction...

"Hey...I've heard these songs..."

After about an hour of them passing off my IPod when they aren't playing...and one kid stops at a song and says..."Damn...this one is incredible..."

I grab a listen...and he's listening to Unchained...

We wrap up the night with the kid saying..."Damn, maybe I'll check the Roth show out...I wish I had this disc..."

I ran out to my car...grab Fair Warning...run back in and hand it to the kid with a Merry Christmas...

and hopefully...passed some Roth down to another generation...

Funny that these kids have no fucking idea who this band was...

Thanks spED...for wiping out an entire generation with your fucking idiocy...

Long Live Roth...Long Live Classic VH...

On a side note...I asked the 3 what they listened to, and the only band worth mention was Led Zeppelin...that they hear every so often on the radio...I mentioned Robert Plant, and they had no idea...

but they were regular listeners of the Foo Fighters, Godsmack and...ugh...Silverb...er...Nickelback...

My god...how Rock has fallen...

Go POJO!
