He was a stinkin drunk then, but his brother, Alex was way, way worse. We were probably 19, 20 years old and a group of us girls got together to go to the concert at Hirsch Coliseum and then a few of us got to go backstage, ONLY because of Valerie of course, but it was fun. David Lee Roth was an off the charts type A kind of guy and he actually hit on Valerie, but she an Ed ended up together. I wish Ed could have gotten control of his drinking habit, also his chain smoking. Later in life, he ended up with cancer of the tongue and had a chunk of it removed. After they got divorced, Ed's drinking got worse and there are pics of him looking like a street urchin. The last I heard, Van Halen was going on tour and Wolfgang (Wolfie), Ed and Valerie's son was replacing Michael Anthony as bass player. I have to honestly say, I'm worried about their son getting into drinking and drugs.

To Valerie...your post below about Pres. Bush

"Ooookayyy..i won't call him 'our 'tarded prez...he can be YOUR 'tarded prez...There is some validity to your opinion though...the prez being called 'tarded' is more than he deserves..what i would have to say about him could probably get me in deep doo-doo; so you can HAVE him - hes all yours (i didn't vote for the creatrue anyway"

First....If you live in the United States of America, he is also YOUR President.

Second....I am proud to call him MY President.

Third......You said you didn't vote for the creatrue anyway. What is a creatrue?

Fourth.....Again, please stop calling OUR President of the United States childish names.

Thank you.

Paul in concert
I saw Paul in 2005 too in Philly; I agree it was spectacular! I went with my husband, but called the kids at home from my cell so they could sing along! I have 4 girls ranging in age from 17 to 5 and they know the Beatles songs. That is so cool your daughter loved it. I wished I had brought mine too.

Concert tickets!
Just got my DH and his sister (share the same bday)tickets to a blues festival. They were thrilled.

I remeber during a choir concert while in junior high
our director (she was one of the coolest teachers) forgot to turn on a microphone and when she came on stage to turn it on she said. The kids went wild. It is funny though, it seems like I stopped hearing it for a while (guess when my kids were younger) but now I hear it all the time.

What is a STRAIT concert? And how do you not know how long you've been married? nm

Anybody pop their knuckles? Is it really harmful? I pop my knuckles like a concert pianist... SM

several times a day while at my keyboard. I've been told it will make my knuckles big and give me arthritis. I've been doing it for years and my knuckles aren't any bigger. I do notice my hands seem to get stiffer as I gotten older and require me popping them more often.

I was just wondering if anyone else does this too? I also pop my neck which is probably not good. And my right ankle that I use for my pedal gets stiff and it will pop on its own from time to time. I'm just a walking mess of popping joints, I guess.
