So I come down,
I was a little kid, and there's just thousands
of people in the street. I mean you've never seen
so many people in your life and they're all in front
of the Whisky trying
to get into the Whisky to see Van Halen. And someone announces
that the tickets are on sale at Tower Records
down the street, so everyone runs from The Whisky
over to Tower Records trying to get their tickets,
and then some fuck up
happened over there, the tickets end up
being sold here. Sold the 500 tickets
in about four seconds,
and it was just mayhem. I mean, the SWAT team, you know, the whole nine yards was
out here protecting
the Sunset Blvd from this, like, potential riot
from this Van Halen crowd. I went up to The Rainbow
just to, you know,
say hi to my Grandpa and stuff, and he made me walk
Weird Al Yankovich
into the show
