So many beautiful and talented people lost this year. And there is hardly any talent to replace them since most lack the creative force and skills to do the same. everything is so machine-made now.

He is outlived by David Lee Roth, his one time frontman, who was also rumored to have moved the GDP of a small south american country up his nose in their prime in the 80’s, go figure.

Seriously though Van Halen is one of those bands I feel like I’ve known about since I was old enough to know what a band was.

Yeah, with Neil Peart dying this whole year kicked off all wrong. Well, lets hope there is a place where they are collaborating with Freddie Mercury and John Entwhistle
