Barry first found music when he borrowed his sister's record collection when he was about eight and was hooked. When Caroline started it was a new beginning, and he listened to all the stations, but Caroline was his favourite by far. Later he became a singer in a band, then started doing discos when he was 18. He joined Caroline in 1977, touring the country with the Caroline Roadshow for 10 years, having great fun. Barry helped with tender trips and worked on the Ross Revenge in '84 and '85. ...

this podcast is going to be all about 60's music. the goal with this podcast is to educate a younger generation on one of the greatest decades of music of all time, and to prove to people that Millennials can love 60's music as well and it's not just for Baby boomers.

Ep. 123 Van Halen - Diver Down - Review & Reaction!
Van Halen’s Diver Down, released in April 1982, stands as one of the band’s more polarizing records—both celebrated for its playful, party-rock vibe and criticized for its heavy reliance on cover songs. Clocking in at just over 31 minutes, the album blends original material with a series of classic rock and pop covers, showcasing the band’s versatility and sense of humor. While not as influential as Van Halen I or 1984, Diver Down helped reinforce Van Halen’s image as hard rock’s ultimate party band, solidifying their mainstream appeal in the early '80s.
Diver Down is often seen as a transitional album—a bridge between Van Halen’s raw early years and their polished commercial peak. While it’s cover-heavy and short, it captures a carefree, rebellious spirit that was essential to the band’s identity. For better or worse, it proved that Van Halen could do whatever they wanted—and still go platinum.
