That's the story! EXACTLY the experience you'd trade for your 82 memory and that fucking shirt.

I'd trade any part of my teenage life (Except my girlfriend, lmao) to have lived during the prime of Van Halen...Reading Crazy From the Heat in four hours flat, in a cramped RV, on the return trip of a 3,000+ mile family outing to New Jersey is an enlightening experience you'll never forget.Comment

It was a magical time, to be sure....
I was lucky enough to spend much of 1984 in southern California, it was my first year in the Navy....
It was wall-to-wall Van Halen, no doubt about it....
Van Halen was the biggest band in the world, and if it were not for Thriller, there wouldn't be any musical act that was close to them....
And that's why it was such a kick in the balls when they broke up soon after that, what could have been.....
This is the kind of shirt I bought that night in San Diego (see my avatar) and still have, and the same one that I squeezed into in Greensboro in '07.... For a better explanation of the reaction that shirt got that night, see the link below the pic....
