Lol in Aug of 1979 I followed a certain band and their handlers into a Head Shop next door to a Peaches Record Store...they’d just done and instore appearance...to meet them in the store you had to buy their new album...I already had it, besides I was a broke 12 year old...but they were my favorite band, that’s why i rode my bike to the Record Store. Didn’t find out about the have to buy the album to meet the band until I got to the store.
I waited outside the roped off section. When the instore was over I hung around in the store flipping through albums...San i was leaving I saw the band and (what was probably their peeps) duck into the Head Shop. I followed. Got to meet all four of them...the drummer was cool, he was all fired up about me riding my huffy with the banana seat to the Peaches just to meet them. He introduced me, somewhat, to the other members...the bassist, the guitarist (quiet, kinda shy little guy ((even at 12 I was a big guy)) The singer who said hi, but brushed me off pretty quickly. The drummer signed a Heineken beer bottle on the label for me, that he had just finished...I don’t know how in broad daylight I rode home on my bike carrying a smelly beer bottle in my hand and didn’t get stopped.
When a I got home my mother saw me with the bottle and lost it. She didn’t care who signed it, she took it from me and I never saw it again. (She could care less that Alex Van Halen signed it). My older brother, who was cool, somehow talked my mother into letting him take me to see the band that night. He had taken me to my first concert the summer before and he knew I really liked this band. It was at Cleveland Public Hall, the concert was loud...most of the other concert goers where nuts...honestly I only remember flashes, since it was 40 years ago. I do remember buying a bootleg concert t-shirt as we were leaving for $5...that lasted about three washes before it was a rag.
That was my first Van Halen show."Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is!"

Lol. I know some shaman types who still do. I never cared for it myself. I smell it takes me straight back to high school. That and clove cigs. Didn’t someone around here admit they still smoke cloves? I smell them occasionally at shows and it makes me gag. Smoked too many Djarums in grade school.

Great story.
You talking about Peaches on Pearl/42 and Ridge right?
Used to go there all the time but a few years later. I remember the headshop which was in the back. Great area since there was a adult video store and a White Castle right by it. Unfortunately no more White Caste

Montrose debut is great and is definitely underrated but as a Van Halen fan, yeah, 5150 all day long.

Eddie Van Halen in 2012:
"ESQ: What are you going to do with all the material that you wrote with Sammy Hagar?
EVH: Oh, I hadn't thought about that. That's some great music. They're just on vacation, maybe. They're off to college and they're going their own way. Who knows?"

There’s nothing wrong with weed, it’s certainly a better medicinal option than opioids that eats your body away.

The smell of weed is definitely preferable to the smell of nicotine.
