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.

Hungry? Try One of These Enormous Dallas, Texas Food Challenges!
We know that in Texas people love to eat, especially with all the delicious food and treats served in the Lone Star State. But as much as it pains me to say this, I cannot eat like I used to in my 20s. Back in the day I never worried about what I ate or how much I ate because my body would be fine consuming anything. But now as I am older, I have to be more careful that way my body doesn’t hate me for a few days. When consuming too much food it can put extra stress on your body, which is exactly the case when you’re trying one of the food challenges near Dallas.

A TikTok video has gone viral of a California woman and she was shocked how Texans act at the Waterpark. She comes from California and could not believe that Texans just leave their belongings unattended while they enjoy the Waterpark. Nobody rummages or steals anything and goes about their day.

Things You’d See in a 1980s Garage
Garages in the '80s were less about parking your car and more about being a catch-all for everything you needed to get out of the house as consumer-driven culture kicked its jazzercised butt into high gear. It was also a place where parents (okay, let's face it, Dad) could "tinker"—a...

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. The San Francisco-bred band is celebrating its 50th anniversary here in 2024, playing dates with the Marshall Tucker Band, but also diverse stage mates like Deep Purple. That might seem like a strange combo at first glance, but as it turns out, the heavier side of their catalog can easily build that bridge. The psychedelic side of their Jefferson Airplane days opens other portals. Their numerous radio hits gave them plenty of ammo to spend the summer of 2023 touring with Bret Michaels and Night Ranger as part of the inaugural Parti-Gras tour.
