Van Hagar '08
Gov.
Sarah Palin just made a serious push for those disgruntled Hillary
Clinton supporters, namedropping Geraldine Ferraro and promising to
break the glass ceiling. Is the McCain camp's decision to blast
Sammy Hagar-era Van Halen part of this strategy? Unless my ears
deceived me, I just heard Van Hagar rockin' the house in Dayton.
That ain't no green collar rock! Of course, Mr. Cabo Wabo will be
gracing the RNC with his stately presence. Here's hoping McCain
(or Obama) taps him to head up the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and
Firearms.

Just how much quality tequila is my vote worth to you, Senator McCain?

I just heard Van Hagar rockin' the house in Dayton
Sammy rocks about as hard as Paul Simon with one fiftieth the talent. McCain can't drive 55 because he's 800 years old and can't see over the steering wheel.
Here's hoping McCain (or Obama) taps him to head up the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
If we were talking Diamond Dave then we'd be getting somewhere. Are you ready for the new sensation?

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. President of Rock 'n' Roll, baby.

smacky, I was at a Dave concert many years ago and somebody threw ice on stage and hit Dave. He stopped the music and screamed "Who the fuck threw that? Who the fuck do you think you are? I'm fucking Diamond Dave!!!"
It was great.

Dr. Rockso out-Daves Diamond Dave.

Yeah that was Van Hagar playing for her intro. Great song as well. But surely Sammy should be head of the Transport Department.

I'm a rocker through and through. Here's a list of my favorite bands: AC/DC, Van Halen not Van Hagar, Skynyrd, Def Leopard

Whoa. This changes everything. If Palin can save our precious tequila, then by golly, she has my vote! Give me imbiberty or, er, don't!
El Squid Roe is a much better bar than Cabo Wabo, by the way.
cheers!|8.29.08 @ 5:13PM|#
hagar is getting political these days. maybe they should be playing cuf instead...
|8.29.08 @ 5:13PM|#
Ted Nugent would be a better ATF chief choice that Hagar. Sammy's just too Orange County.
cheers!|8.29.08 @ 5:18PM|#
meant to post the link to the "cosmic universal fashion" video...

I'd hope Palin prefers the Montrose era Hagar to that sissy Sam Halen Hagar. If McCain blasts that shit at the convention I'll reconsider my reconsideration.
