Sh!t. I'm getting old!

Nah, lots of 3 year olds were going to Van Halen and Jethro Tull shows back then.
Old is when you turn in your Rush CD's for Celine Dion.

What about all my 8-tracks and 45's?

That's not old, that's just CRAZY!!! If you ever catch me listening to Celine Dion by choice, well, that's obviously an imposter. Kill it and then go find and rescue the real me.

I don't know. But I know there are/were Boston, Rush, Ledzep, ELP, Yes, PF, Black Sab, Ted Nugent, etc. I don't know about VH. They were a new band. Maybe after 8-track?
