   You know I have a long history of being close to the Van Halen story for a   
   long time   
   and so I need to address a thought about a Tribute to EVH   
      
   What Sammy Hagar said was close to the heart in choosing a couple venues   
   or a two night festival. Get one night for the Roth era of songs   
   and one night for Hagar era of songs. Use as many guitarists as possible to be   
   featured.   
   MY thought though is doing a Tribute show kinda mises the mark   
   right now because social media is still discovering Van Halen before the ink   
   is dry on what that band really did.   
   When you say stream of consciousness music that's Van Halen. The usual musical   
   thingy is to make a song that sounds like a song but not Van Halen. Van Halen   
   made a song into an emotional roller coaster.   
   Start off on fire and end on fire and in between showcase the fire.   
   Van Halen hits you hard and says unapologetically, you like that too hard now   
   don't you.   
   It's the area there in the foothills the can do attitude the it's all on our   
   backs yoke we wear.   
   Who does that now? The Beatles did it just not as hard.   
   Hendrix wanted to have it but couldn't find the lyrical flow figure.   
    Jackson had it but in the wrong ethnic environment.   
   Van Halen Tribute, impossible to attempt to praise what praised us all.   
   Maybe a documentary not a rock show. It's been done and we'll wait and wait   
   and wait wait for more   
   but it'll never happen again.
