The Hard Rock keeps going like the energizer bunny - didn't it begin in the 80's?

One time coming from South Carolina back to Florida, the thing tried to get me to go to Hawaii!<br /><br />Nice photos, too. Love the sunset.<br /><br />By the way, that old house in Ocala...we drive by it all the time...it's been like that ever since I can remember.
