How Sammy Hagar Outsmarted Van Halen’s Cabo Wabo Shirts Ban
Sammy Hagar got an early sign of how contentious his 2004 reunion with Van Halen would be when he was banned from wearing Cabo Wabo clothing onstage. Hagar and his Van Halen bandmates launched the Cabo Wabo cantina in 1990 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico after the singer fell in love with the town. Years later, with the club in financial and legal distress, Hagar bought out his bandmates' interests. He was not only able to turn around the venue's fortunes but also launched a highly successful tequila brand under the same name. He departed Van Halen in 1996 after a series of escalating creative and career path disagreements.

Jefferson Starship Is Still Flying High at 50
Jefferson Starship has been to the moon and back, metaphorically speaking. This year, their music will once again carry them all over the world, from Pennsylvania to Paris.
