Insider leak that will depress the hell out of many of you:
One of the celeb papers in my office has been getting phone calls from Eddie Van Halen. They were (are) going to run a recent photo of him looking kind of rough, made a comment call (expecting to get the usual denials, refuse to comment, been trying a new experimental therapy, yadda yadda) and he's returned the calls, leaving semi-coherent messages that include the following facts:
* It wasn't radiation that cured his cancer, it was crack cocaine.
* Eddie Van Halen's cell phone doesn't have a musical ring or even a MIDI guitar lick; it farts. These were audible in the background.
* It's OK to be gay -- it's just not OK to be beyond gay.
* The paper can publish anything it wants.
This is kind of a tabloid dream, but any "musicians are cool" sentiment in me that may have existed yesterday morning is pretty much gone now. His latest message was left at 7a.m. his time.
I'm sorry. So very sorry.

Wasn't Walt a bit of an old fascist? In my book that makes him pretty uncool.
He had his head frozen.
Actually, I think the man created an Evil Empire, but he's definitely got *it*, whatever *it* is. |
