My Favorite Van Halen memories.. 78-82...Inspired by Joe Callera..

 My buddy Joe Callera , were the best of friends back in the day.. Partying out in Pacific beach . Imperial Beach,., Sunset Strip in Hollywood.. with our long ass hair and cray attitudes,. I was a skinny ass long haired too loud and proud for my own good. I was heavily into looking hot and good. I used to pamper myslef with lotions on the face and body. I used to work out like crazy. I weighed maybe 125 lbs,. during this time,.I wanted to look like Bruce Lee and play guitar like Eddie Van Halen.. If anything I was closer at imitating Bruce Lee or dangerous David Lee Roth.. 
 Well back to my story.. We went to every Van Halen Concert that came to San Diego Sports Arena. Back them their was no internet or what so, you had to call in , or stand in line for hours to buy tickets. One of the fondest memories was listening to the music. People debating what were the best Van Halen songs.. the best albums.. etc.. I like the old stuff with David Lee Roth.. and I certainly like the Early days sounds.. David Lee Roth is the ultimate show mam.. I recall one concert where he went into a martial arts demo. I loved it. My buddy Joe , said it was cool, but this a rock concert.. oh whatever. .. I loved the show.. If one thing Van halen knows how to do is .. put on the greatest rock shows.. If you never saw them I suggest you do it.. I mean they have the most speakers of any rock band ever and Alex Van Halens drum set is the most outrageous ,most over the top set up ever.. and He does put on a crazy ass show.. Michael Anthony's crazy bass solo's and Constant drinking of whiskey is classic.. Love that fat and lovable guy.. Truly one of my favorite members of the band.. 
 But the craziest thing I ever did was they set up a ramp , kind of run way stage from the middle of the concert floor up to the stage.. This night with my brothers prompting I jumped on this ramp and pop locked to one of Van Halens song. People were tripped out, I mean I doing hip hop dancing to rock music,.,.at first, I thought , I'm gonna be booed off the stage. By everyone approved including David Lee Roth, Yes, security , took off the stage and I was expecting to be escorted out of the arena.. But instead they let me back into the concert floor where I partied on with my brother and the thousand's of die hard fans. To the Van halen Security crew, thanks,. for dealing with my wild and crazy antics.. I guess they thought this cute kid was or is harmless. But to this day. that day and all those days listening to Van Halen music at parties,. and keggers at the Pits// that's a place in South San Diego.. where we all partied as a young dude,.. I recall those late nights with Guy , John, cranking the tunes in the garage as they worked and I drank beer ,, enjoying our youth.. Gosh I miss those days,, Driving fast cars. chasing Fast women.. and Listening to some of the best music in music history.. Van Halen,. Ratt, Def Leppard,Dokken , Rush, Aerosmith, Ozzy , Scorpions,, were just a sample of the music we all grew up and rocked out.. Dokken is another favorite. listening to loud rock music cruising IB.. or the Strand.. Tripping out at the Beach or the Hotel Del.. which became a work place and finally found true love with the Love of my life Mona.. For those you recall those days. Rock and Roll will never die!! We are young forever in our hearts and souls.. Thank you for letting me share my wonderful memories of the most happiest times of my child hood... THE SOURCE PRODUCTIONS @ 2011
