Home computers?? In 1984 they weren't on my radar at all, still enamored with Selectric typewriter that could white-out letters. I prob thought Crazy Eddie was indeed insane!

Eddie was a guitar hero alongside Jimi, Eric, Jimmy...but Ed was MTV generation's guitar hero. Innovative like no one had ever seen, blew our minds with his talent, and fun! So many remembering...his smile. Agree with chalk message amidst flowers and candles, forever in our ❤️s.

A small memorial has appeared in Pasadena near Allen and Villa, right where VAN HALEN is carved into the curb, courtesy of Ed and Al, way before they were famous. RIP EVH.

Ah-ha-ha-ha 🕺💃 This week in 1977 an iconic movie came out that showed John Travolta was more than a Sweathog, the Bee Gees had a 2nd chapter in them, & influenced how every kid went to school dances. Happy 46th #SaturdayNightFever !

You can clearly see why I felt like I was working with the coolest people ever. Like mom told my older brothers and sister they had to babysit me for the day and I was in heaven. Great find @GregRenoff

A massive rock 'n roll farewell, #RIPRobbieRobertson . His songs like The Weight, Up On Cripple Creek, and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down are woven into the songbooks of all of our lives. My deepest condolences to his loved ones, who number many.

The Zeus of British blues. Many of the greats came through his band, the Bluesbreakers. Among them Clapton, Peter Green & Mick Taylor. He didn’t need to be “inducted” into the Rock Hall, he was one of it’s architects.

Dear First Responders, When I think of you I'm filled with awe and gratitude. You who ran to the aid of the crumbling Twin Towers this day in 2001 #NeverForget You who today in 2024, would do exactly the same thing. You cannot be thanked enough. God Bless🇺🇸
