Positive thinking cynic. Chicago. Van Halen. Phish. Snowboarding. Beer. Whiskey. Hot buttered toast.

In Philadelphia, it’s worth 50 bucks.

That is of course the legendary (and yet woefully underappreciated) Bo Diddley, astride a 1957-59 Cushman Pacemaker or 1960 Cushman Allstate Jetstar/Jetsweep, posing for the cover of the 1960 album "Have Guitar Will Travel." Guitar: Bo's custom Gretsch G6138 "Twang Machine."

Two things that are awesome in this picture: Gene Simmons and the poor bastard whose parents wouldn’t buy him a store costume.
Remember when we were kids and we had creepy ass costumes like this?

Bonus: THAT kid seems to be wearing a tie underneath. What a great photo.

Whatever is in the top left looks like a blowup doll.

Too good to check: Ozzy & Sabs were told that “a bar band from LA” would be opening for them. Watch the sequence from 40 seconds in, until 1:25 or so. This was no “bar band from Los Angeles” - Van Halen in 1978 was a force of nature.

True story.
People who dont like Diver Down, dont understand Van Halen.

More of this. Less of EVERYTHING else please.
Dick Van Dyke singing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at a Denny’s is the only thing that matters today.
