It's been 30 years since Van Halen came out with their eponymous debut album. I was in 1st grade, and stuck with my fellow classmates. When you are 6 years old, it's intimidating to watch the older kids go by. But I d…
The duo of Naked Eyes consisted of singer Pete Byrne and keyboardist Rob Fisher. After Naked Eyes broke up in the mid-80s, Fisher teamed up with Simon Climie to form Climie Fisher. And in early 1988, Climie Fisher had …
Ah, Fillmore Street. When I was in 1st and 2nd grades, I went to elementary school on Fillmore and Jackson. It is currently Newcomer High, but for a few years, that site was Garfield Elementary. The real Garfield is a…
In early 1988, I had a rich classmate, AA, who lived within a stone's throw of Sutro Tower. AA was king, and he even dedicated Savatage's Hall Of The Mountain King to himself. You see, living up on Twin Peaks, AA cons…

See, I told you I was skinny in sixth grade: I'm the geek in the light blue trunks, about to toss rings onto the cones. Do I look like a Holy Diver? Dio's Holy Diver came out towards the end of sixth grade. It went …
When we got back to school in early 1988, we got a boost with Megadeth's So Far, So Good...So What! It was the perfect antidote against, say, Debbie Gibson. But once we got past the image, we didn't think SFSGSW was ve…
Another album we enjoyed in the 82-83 school year was Kenny Loggins' High Adventure. I guess he marketed this to appeal to the Raiders Of The Lost Ark crowd. The album kicks off with the Steve Perry collaboration, "Don…
