My Father's birthday is on February 11th and he is a hard man to buy for. I have pretty much bought him everything possible for every sports team that he loves. So I asked him what he wants for his birthday. He said he wants to go see Van Halen. They are coming to our area in March and he would really like to go see them, but my mother won't go (big surprise). My dad will be 57 and he wants to go see Van Halen.
He has always taken me to concerts all my life. I can't tell you how many times he took me to see Rick Springfield when I was little!! When I got older it was U2. Every U2 concert I have been too, my Dad has gone too. I've always thought it was really neat to have a Dad cool enough to listen to current music. All my friends dad's listened to "golden oldies" and stuff and were always amazed that my dad listened to "cool" music.
I personally liked Van Halen the most when Sammy Hagar was singing. I'm pretty sure I am in the minority in this but, oh well. I'm not crazy about David Lee Roth, but I do like Van Halen, so I coughed up the $90/ticket to take my Dad to see Van Halen for his birthday.
Happy Birthday Dad.......
