It's been pretty warm and humid here in Ohio recently, and I couldn't help but think how much Van Halen used to be played on the radio, MTV and on car stereos here in the summers of yore. I can remember driving around in my own fixed up Stingray cranking 5150 or OU812 just to hear some Summer Nights or Feels so Good. Talk about damn good times! I'm sure we've all shared the experience of cruising with the top down while blasting some Secrets or another VH tune on those hot summer nights. On this July 4th I'd like to propose a toast to Van Halen: The Real Boys of Summer. May all of these recent troubles solve themselves the best way possible for all the parties involved. May the legacy that is Van Halen never die. Remember, "under darkened skies, we'll see the light...". Raise your glasses ladies and gents, to the real boys of summer!

Oh, let's make it an non-alcoholic toast, just in case...
Happy 4th everybody, stay safe and have fun!"And now for the benediction..."

Yep, I was listening to Summer Nights and 5150 with the windows down the other night and man do those songs really fit the situation. But during the hot summer days nothing fits better than the first three VH albums, for some reason 1984 and some parts of Fair Warning and Driver down don't fit with the feeling of summer. Something I think WACF, VH2 and VH1 do best. Doesn’t matter what car I’m in, blasting Romeo Delight with all the windows down still makes me feel pretty cool.
