Van Halen is probably the only one of those Rock groups that I bothered watching on MTV back in the day, almost all due to Eddie. I am not a mega fan, but he is another in a line of recent pop culture deaths of people who have just always been there, in the background of my life. Hard to imagine life without him, sober reminder that there is less time (for me) than I might imagine to find out.
