Your neighbors Sheila (daughters Gabby and LIat?) and me, fabulous minor star of Violaine's early video effort - egads, 14 years ago??? Sipping wine tonight with Sheila (nothing changes here and it's still very hot!) said out of the blue that she had a copy of that video and we watched it - too hilarious - a lot of fun memories of those days. It was like watching a old silent era film - how young we all looked. Liat is now a junior at Penn! Your apt. all redone and quite fancy now - $1600 a month - probably cheaper than Paris, but a lot more than when you lived there no doubt. After watching the video we googled you and came upon your blog, so thought I'd send a note to say a little hello from the past. Your blog is pretty interesting - not too personal, but can read between the lines that a lot has changed in your life since those far off days! Kids? Paris? Wow - Formidable! Un p'tit bonjour a Violaine et a toi de la part des voisins et amis du passe - David et Sheila Hi Fino –

The man is inimatable, but I do think Chris Pine deserves another shot at captaining the Enterprise. It might just take him a while to settle into the roll. Thanks for the reviews!

I agree that Fair Warning needs to make it into my collection! One of my faves too, just never got around to a vinyl->CD->aac conversion for that one... Thanks for the comments!

There are some good elements and Cherone sings quite a bit like Hagar, but with a little more growl in his voice. The lyrics are more "cerebral" in some ways. I dunno, it's not an awful album. It's also not great. I think it's worth a listen or two. You should throw Fair Warning into your mix of VH albums. For me, that's the best album ever! Van Halen III is hard to peg.
