Videos are stupid.<\/p>\n

Just look at this one<\/a>.\u00a0 Maybe you don’t see it.\u00a0 That’s okay, I’m a little weird.\u00a0 I don’t like TV or movies.\u00a0 And videos.\u00a0 But look at that hair.\u00a0 Yikes!<\/p>\n

This is a good song however.\u00a0 Just don’t pay too much attention to the lyrics.\u00a0 It’s Sammy Hagar, for crying out loud.\u00a0 The smartest thing he’s ever said was “I quit” when the old Van Halen soap opera was gearing up for more drama in the 90s.<\/p>\n

The Dave years were better.\u00a0 Sammy is technically a better singer than Dave, but Sammy’s not terribly interesting to watch.<\/p>\n

Anyway… this song is about unlocking the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of yourself.\u00a0 It’s also about drinking lots of alcohol with your friends while driving an automobile.\u00a0 No, sorry, that’s “Cruisin’ & Boozin’<\/a>“.\u00a0 Perhaps it bears repeating not to pay too much attention to Sammy’s lyrics.<\/p>\n

This song, as with all of Sammy’s work, falls squarely into music’s “Junk Food” category.\u00a0 This one is a McRib.\u00a0 With lots of sauce.<\/p>\n

I honestly really like his voice.\u00a0 And I think it’s a shame that the brothers Van Halen couldn’t be bothered to sound interesting when he was singing with them.\u00a0 Sophisticated?\u00a0 Grown up?\u00a0 Yes, they sounded that way for sure.\u00a0 But while they were doing that, DLR was flinging boogers their way from the sidelines.\u00a0 Actually, he was making some decent but also some downright horrid music too.<\/p>\n

Don’t watch the lame twerp in this video, just listen to the music.<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay, welcome back to the real world.\u00a0 Sorry about that, and I hope I haven’t caused your nervous system too much damage.\u00a0 That was – as far as these things can be described this way – a David Lee Roth overdose.<\/p>\n

See what happens when there’s no producer or band members to rein him in?\u00a0 He always had kick-ass music videos though.<\/p>\n

But that’s not one of his videos.\u00a0 I don’t know who that dumbass kid is.<\/p>\n

Speaking of dumbass kids, I heard that Eddie Van Halen, of doing too many drugs fame, has his son playing bass in the “reunited” Van Halen.\u00a0 Come on Dave, gimmie a break.<\/p>\n

I mean come on Eddie, gimmie a break.<\/p>\n

This Eddie is cooler anyway.<\/p>\n
