I had no clue that Gene Simmons was the one to get Van Halen signed to a record lable. I love to dress up as Gene for Halloween....The sad part is that people say that I remind them of him without the make up. My mother was the one who first started to like him, she'd sit and watch him on TV and I'd say; Do you like Gene Simmons? She'd be like yea. I was in shock because she doesn't not seem the type, but then again I just asked her if she liked Dave better than Elvis and she said yea with a little hesitation or embarasment...Gene always scared me growing up but I guess my mom was right...It's good to be Gene! I think all the mothers of us 80's chicks had to be closet David Lee Roth fans.....you know it was hard enough for our dads to accept this type of look and behavior let alone to find out their wives were drooling over him too? Not in my Italian family! Hey at least my dad didn't tear down Daves posters like he did to our Andy Gibb pictures on the walls....I guess we were a little to young to like boys back then.....Perfact Timming Dave! Cheers! Love, love ,love that song!
