Those pants David Lee Roth was wearing, I can't get the image out of my head, NO!

My copy of the zine was delivered yesterday, thanks, it was a lot of fun!

My continued positive thoughts for your tough Grandma.

Hi Brian, keeping your grandma and Dallas in my prayers for recovery. Thanks for sharing the Diamond Dave experience. My Chris would've loved to have been at that concert with you as Van Halen was one of his top groups. He also would've loved your Faith No More T shirt as they were another fave. I can see why you guys clicked with so much in common. It's cool to see people of all ages enjoying Dave's show. Must've been great to hear memories of Eddie too. Got another TV show for your watchlist. It's called Widow's Bay, AppleTV, with Matthew Rhys (Perry Mason, the Amerikans; hubby to actress Kerry Russell). You can subscribe to AppleTV directly or via Amazon Prime. I'm really enjoying it. How to describe it: A combo of The Fog; Jaws; The Shining and a bit of Twin Peaks! Rhys plays the mayor of a small seaside town trying to promote it to vacationers only to keep finding reasons why people should NOT be going there LOL. It's very quirky and fun sometimes. Another 2 great AppleTV shows you might also enjoy are Monarch with Kurt Russell and his son playing the same character hunting/researching Godzilla, Kong and others and Dark Matter with Jennifer Connolly, sci fi, about the multiverse theory and one man trying to make his way back to his wife and family through that multiverse. Thanks again for the newsletter and look forward to getting the next fanzine in the mail. Happy Memorial Day weekend!

I was 7 years old in 1985 when my aunt gave me my first 3 albums, Scorpions love at first sting, the Honeydrippers volume one, and David Lee Roth's crazy from the heat. While all three albums are amazing, crazy from the heat created my love for all things David Lee Roth and Van Halen that has continued for over 40 years. Its awesome he is still touring and doing his thing and I hope to see him one day. Thanks for sharing your experience there.

Really thought your take on Diamond Dave was spot on.

Saw him with Van Halen in 78’

Been a fan ever since

I for one, and hope others will follow, am going to boycott B&N. That is total bullshit.
