The Chicago Cubs and ‘Jump’ were ideally together in every way imaginable.
Occasionally there is a confluence of events that decades later, some small thing about it brings memories flooding back. That is perhaps no truer than the 1984 Chicago Cubs and the Van Halen song, Jump.
Rock legend Eddie Van Halen lost a decade-long battle with cancer at age 65. He was a virtuoso on the guitar, a gifted songwriter, and a devoted father to his son Wolfgang, who became the group’s bassist in 2006. He, Van Halen, and the 1984 Cubs are connected forever with Cubs fans.
