My friend Tony and I make a lot of mixed tapes for one another. No, I'm not trying to date him! We have been engaged in this friendly exchange for several years now and he always seems to somehow get the better of me although I have the larger record collection. The last one he made was a corker, the theme was on summer vacation. I think that's where he's got me beat: he's actually taking the time to come up with themes. I'll do a theme every now and then or I start of with a theme and then it just turns into a bunch of crap that I happen to be listening to a lot when I'm making the tape. So I'm making him a new one now and I've decided I'm going to make a response to his summer vacation tape, but mine is going to be sort of a soundtrack for a summer movie that doesn't exist. Maybe if I ever make the teen sex comedy that I know is inside me I will use this mixed tape for the soundtrack. I have a few ideas for what's going to go on it. The one thing I know (and don't any of you tell Tony) is that it is going to open with Van Halen's "Dance The Night Away", I mean who wouldn't want to see a summer movie that opened with that. You go throw me all the Jurassic dinosaurs you got and as long as you open with "Dance The Night Away" I'll give you my ten dollars. The way I see it, I don't care who you are: be you man, woman, child, fish or fowl at some point you are going to have to step up to the plate and bow before the glory that is "Diamond" David Lee Roth. Like the man said in Unforgiven, "We all got it coming, kid."
