I know I-40 on the Carolina coast is 70 now...



Look at the album covers of Boston, ELO, Pink Floyd...

I remember thinking in 1978 that the year 2025ish would be like Star Wars.

What a disappointment.

That's how you know they are evil.

They returned Sammy.

It's a bit vague for me to really hold my balls and recoil. So we're going to be in separate factions? Sides? That's been the case since before Sammy's time, really.

Now, come get your one way ticket to midnight.

Hagar was born in ‘47, so he would’ve been around 18 at the time…. Sure he wasn’t tripping on acid or something?

Yep…

It’s a damn shame they couldn’t check their egos, and just keep it going till Eddie got sick.

It's funny how things change. Back when I had mad crushes on all of them with Alex last.

Nowadays Alex Van Halen does it for me. playing those drums in the video above...

Sammy explains that song... (NOT the same w/o the original VH band)

He would have been around 30 in 1977

And yes LSD was popular back then

Not sure. But I think he was 10 to 15 years old when he claimed aliens abducted him. Kids this age probably weren't doing LSD in 1962?

In the video where he talks about his abduction he says it didn't happen in 77, but years before that.

When did that song come out? From the first time I heard it to the last it gives me goose bumps profoundly and I don't know why?

Even before seeing the video-ever it is captivating just hearing it on the radio back when...
