Today (January 9) as the 32nd anniversary of the release of Van Halen’s monumental album, ‘1984.’
You may want to take a moment and recognize the significance of the date: January is the first month of the year and marked as “1.” The ninth day of the month is marked as “9.” The year is marked “84” in short, thus lining them up as “1/9/84.” A pretty cool little fact about one of the best rock ‘n’ roll albums ever!
