> Man oh man, how far Eddie's fallen. For those of us in our late 30s or so, Eddie Van Halen was a rock god of the highest order

Mid-40's you mean. (Geez... I always thought my little brother was swiping my VH records when I wasn't around: now I got proof! I'm telling Mom!)

So now Eddie is doing porn. Great. Can't wait for his re-make of "Hot for Teacher." Not!

I saw a recent video of Diamond David Lee Roth live. There is nothing so sad: an antient rock-and-roller who has lived his life too hard for too long. Pudgy, with long blond (receding?) hair -- couldn't tell if it was really all his or fake. And in spandex with a gut. (Spandex is a right not a privilege! Mick Jagger pay attention!)

That's not even anything *like* growing old gracefully -- or even disgracefully. That's just plain-and-simple passing by the use-by date: long ago. Just like that lump of dried-out, rock-hard mouldy cheese in the back of the fridge that for some reason nobody has gotten around to throwing it away.

Scary. Just bloody scary.

Crikey.
