I instantly put it above my bed and when my father came home from work, my mother told him to go look in my bedroom and my father had a FIT! He made me take it down and said to "throw that **** in the trash. I thought you liked the plumbers!"
(When my dad was growing up in Boston, their plumber's last name was Fleetwood, so my dad always called the Mac "the plumbers"!!! ) LOL

He was on the right track anyway - you were liking plumbing.

I had that same DLR in chains poster - remember my room at The Ark? LOL

OMG -- I forgot about that until I read this. I remember being in Debbie Moon's room across the hall and she would say, "She's always listening to that Leather and Lace song, you have GOT to go over and say hello!" LOL

Ahh, the Ark...Loud Hall, Sammy's constallation on the ceiling, DMSR area where we would smoke and see who was hunching who, Eddie's Bar and you being the Monday Night Football Cocktail Waitress until 7 AM!
Long live THE ARK! And Farrah is cancer free, so they should have a party and we should crash it!

I should have gone to college with you two. My college years were mostly wasted in Oregon in a sea of Birkenstocks and putrid clouds of patchouli oil. With the Grateful Dead playing in the background.

Dan and Liz were the first ones to have the constellation on their ceiling, and then everyone copied them - including me in my current home!

Yes, Sparky, you SHOULD have gone to college w/ us. Good times there at the Ark, but nothing beats the party we were at when some dude came out of nowhere and rolled a running lawn mower across the coffee table.

And you forgot that the coffee table had about 5 electric dildo's on it and we nabbed one (we crashed this party, BTW) and drove all through Austin with this 9" black rovolving dildo out of the sunroof of my Volvo.
Did I mention we were tripping?

Yes, Sparky, you should have been with us...we had a blast!!

I saw David Lee Roth perform a few years ago and it was...painful. He had this one move that he could still manage, and bless his heart- he did it every few minutes. His voice sounded like someone who did no preparation- awful. The upside was that he did some really obscure VH songs.

All that said- hell yes, I'm going! I have never seen any incarnation of Van Halen live.

Rickypt · #24 02-03-2007, 09:43 PM

I am THERE.

Wow. That's such an original comment coming from you.

If he starts working with a vocal coach and vocalizes on a daily basis he could get some of it back.

Wonder if he'll break out his bottle of "Jack Daniels." That 2500 seat arena at The Palms would be an incredible place to see them. Heaven only knows what the tickets would cost.

My only complaint will be wondering if this tour will come to a complete hault like the last Van Halen reunion tour due to Edward's (Continuing?

) alcohol problem.

BlackWidow · #30 02-04-2007, 10:44 AM

Can Dave still sing????
He looks like he fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down......time has not been a friend to him.
