Red Rocker Jealousy

I am getting some work done here at Sorento's coffee in Redmond Ridge. When I walked in I quickly noticed that a familiar face had a very different hair style So I asked, "you go to Mexico?" It was the tight to the head braids with little beads at the end that gave it away. She stayed in Cabo. As she explained where in Cabo I was instantly back on the streets with Tanya. I remember the area she was talking about as if I was there last night. Why do I remember it so well? You might ask. Well that is where the "Red Rocker" Sammy Haggar has his club, Cabo Wabo. You may know Sammy from his early eighties hit "I Can't Drive 55" or as the second front man to one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Van Halen. BTW - In my opinion 5150 is the best VH recording ever.

Well she went to the club to see Sammy play, which he does often. While in line an SUV pulled up and a tall thin tattooed guy gets out. She has no idea who he is but he shakes her hand and talks to her for a while. She soon sees the same guy on drums during the show. Sammy introduces the band and she then finds out it is Tommy Lee (drummer for Motley Crue).

So the secret is out, not only do I love the 80's, but I love 80's hard rock. Ok, there, its out.

Needless to say, I was very jealous.
