Eddie’s sense of humor was always unique and my opinion entertaining. It’s like you never knew what he was going to do next.

He had a thing about Cowboy hats hiding baldness.....evidenced here and in Sammy's book when he told the story about Toby Keith meeting Eddie at one of their shows.

Imagine being Eddie Van Halen? And then to top it off, during the 80s, in his prime ... the stories, the money, fame, the parties. EVH lived the life of 25 men 🤘

To be honest the 80s were there because of van halen.. i mean they started it, the sound, the act, the presence, the care free rockstar attitude.
