C&L's Late Nite Music Club With Van Halen

I found the simple life ain't so simple
By Dale Merrill — February 12, 2018

That means 39 years and a few months ago, every other kid in my neighborhood who owned a guitar practiced learning the "Eruption" solo for at least a week before giving up.

What are you listening to tonight?
