    Van Halen’s Best Songs

    Let’s be honest, Van Halen is the band we knew and loved in the seventies and eighties. We’re talking, Diamond Dave, Alex and Eddie and Michael Anthony.

    We stumbled into a nice surprise on our way to Disturbed’s set in Orlando early this week. As is our typical M.O., we were scrambling to get to our seats in time to catch the opener, Plush. We entered at the wrong side of the newly named Kia Arena (nee Amway Center) and had to…
