Jump<\/b><\/a>.\u201d Could you explain to the kids what a record machine is? <\/b>
It\u2019s a jukebox. And it\u2019s a visual \u2014 like Broadway: [Sings<\/i>] \u201cWhen you\u2019re a jet, you\u2019re a jet \/ All the way from your first cigarette\u2026\u201d Now, I know Tony like I know me \u2014 the playground is neutral territory.<\/p>\nWait, who\u2019s Tony?<\/b>
\u201c<\/b>West Side Story.\u201d<\/p>\n
What\u2019s a jukebox have to do with \u201cWest Side Story\u201d?<\/b>
It suggests an image of a human being leaning against a jukebox saying, \u201cI may not be the best thing in your mind today \u2014 but I\u2019m the right tool for the job.\u201d<\/p>\n
Van Halen\u2019s highest-charting single \u2014 what was it?<\/b>
Either \u201cPanama\u201d or \u201cJump.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was \u201cJump\u201d \u2014 a No. 1 hit in 1984. Remember what was No. 2 behind it?<\/b>
Oh my God, \u201cBoogie Oogie Oogie\u201d?<\/p>\n
\u201cKarma Chameleon,\u201d Culture Club.<\/b>
OK, that\u2019s Boy George.<\/p>\n
You ever meet Boy George? <\/b>
Yes, I did. Boy George would have fit into Coachella perfectly. Where is he? A Boy George comeback at Coachella? Stop lying.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the best Van Halen song?<\/b>
It depends what verb you\u2019re attaching.<\/p>\n
You choose. <\/b>
Pairing, for example, the right alcoholic beverage with the right firearm is important. A light Pilsner goes with that new Czech machine pistol we saw in the last John Wick movie. And a Benelli shotgun for Guinness stout. Van Halen music is the same thing: What verb are you participating in? Are you dancing? How long? The whole night. Are we running? Sure. Who with? The devil.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s in your cup here?<\/b>
This is what made me what I am today \u2014 fat and unemployed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
