It was, but it was also on the cover of Van Halen I in 1978. The difference between the two album covers is that on VH1, it has the words "Van Halen" right across the VH; and on VH2, the words are above the VH. On his t-shirt, it looks like the logo has the words across the VH, so it's more like the VH1 album cover.

Because kids are weird about stuff, and they have stupid, arbitrary rules that they enforce. In my middle school and high school, there were the kids who would make fun of you if you wore your new concert t-shirt to school the day after the show. It was considered nerdy and you were considered to be a poser.

And if you buy a tee at the show that night, don't wear it to school the very next day.

Also, Van Halen's first album came out in 1978 (Joey's shirt), so it's no earlier than that.

Thank you! I knew who everybody else was but her. I recognized her, but it was driving me nuts trying to remember who she was and where I had seen her.

Same. My wife binged-watched the series immediately after our daughter was born.

Edit: and now I will have "Let's go to the Mall... Today!" stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

Yes, it was released in the late 70's in the US, too. However, I was only about 6 years old at the time, and I did not hear the album until about 10 years later, when my older brother brought home a copy for us to listen to.

I heard Generation X, "Youth Youth Youth" on the radio a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't heard it since high school in the 80s.

That was just a misunderstanding based on the sound similarities of the names. God was talking about Eric Idle. You're not supposed to worship Eric Idle.

It's larger and more buoyant and stable than it looks.

"Here Again" by Rush. But I don't hate it; it's just kind of slow, dull, and uninspired. Luckily it was stuck at the end of side 2 of their first album way back in 1974, so it's easy to just skip over.

Reply to Not-so-well-known Christmas music by CLAZID
12 Days of Christmas by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Each of the 12 days is performed in both a different key and a different time signature. For the time signatures, the number of beats per measure matches the number of the day of Christmas, ie, 11th day of Christmas = 11 beats per measure for that verse.
