It seems that the Van Halen news isn't as bad as first thought. At the band's official website it seems that Eddie's problem isn't his past drinking or drug use. Instead, it appears to be something else health related & the doctors are working to identify it and how to deal with it. I know how hard it is to even half heartedly attempt to beat the bottle, much less succeed. So at least one of us is making it so far.
Tomorrow I start to get my stuff together for the move on Friday. The weather doesn't sound great for the next few days out east, but it's been near 80 here in Vegas - just amazing! I can't wait to get home!!!!

Sad News
It's a sad day for music, Jeff Healey has died. I'll never forget his most famous song "Angel Eyes", which always reminds me of Michele. R.I.P. Jeff, you're now pain free my friend. Then I read that Van Halen's pseudo tour has been cancelled. Say what you want about Eddie Van Halen, but at one point the guy was one of rock's most influential guitarists. His battle with the bottle is well documented, and is something that I personally can't fault him for, sealing with the same issue. Did he ever really get over his divorce from Valerie Bertinelli? Only he knows. But I can imagine that even his best attempts to stay sober have been thwarted by his own personal demons - whatever they may be. I truely wish him well, besides battling with personal regret - the toughest battle is from a friend who's always there - be it a pill or a drink.
