About The Artist
Van Halen rode the crest of 1970s riff-rock into 1980s abandon. Always able to produce a smile and a killer hook, their songs captured a West Coast...

French HalenLOCATION: Beach, NiceYEAR: 1986TAGS: Travel, Van HalenPUBLISHED: December 7, 2007I remember being in maybe 7th or 8th grade, and during one of those summers, my father decided to take the family to the South of France. It was pretty amazing, the fast cars, fast women, scenery, and hamburgers with eggs on them. But I distinctly remember one thing American which was my constant companion for those two weeks... a cassette of Van Halen's OU812 pumping on my Walkman. I probably listened to it twice a day, walking on the beach, past the Ferraris, making me miss the States.
