Hello everyone,
I joined this great sight after coming across it while searching the web. Bradley is my son. Bradley has been doing well with the treatments. Thank God for modern medicine. He is now in remission and in what is called "maintennance phase." He still has chemo for another 16 months, but less brutal than the first. His hair is growing back and I took him to school today for 1/2 day. He is feeling like a kid again and I cannot express how proud I am of him. He wants to meet Eddie not for what he did in 1978, but for his entire career of awesome music. His first and second concerts were VH this last tour in Sacramento and in Reno. His third concert was Rush and we are now counting down to see Metallica in December. Bradley is a true rocker. His Ipod is full of the music I loved as a kid, with every VH song ever recorded. He plays guitar and is quite awesome. Type "Zugel" in youtube and you can see a couple videos of him and his brother. He tears up "Im the One."
Even bigger than a great musician meeting a young fan is the fact that Eddie is a cancer survivor himself, as well as a dad. We are going to LA in a couple of weeks to meet him and my son is beyond excited. I am so grateful to Eddie for agreeing, and for everyone who has been so helpful during this very rough time for Bradley and our family. Music has been a great healer.
Glad to be part of the Roth Army.
Take care!

Just watched your son playing I'm The One over at the VH News Desk. Truly impressive and even more impressive is his bravery, indomitable spirt, and intestinal fortitude in fighting the cancer. I am so glad to hear that Ed has agreed to meet the two of you. Have a safe journey to LA and please give us a thread on the visit and don't forget to take some pics.

You're the man, Bradley!!

Wow, some awesome guitar playing there.

Have a great time meeting Eddie at his place, which I guess would be like going to Disneyland or something.

God bless.

That guy down there where you're at in Escondido can do shirts for us, if you give him some graphics.

I like his shop, you know that guy in town who does the car show stuff? He does some thick enamel work, I like it.

Get a quote if he's not busy, last I asked he's way backlogged - but because he's very good.

I moved to Oceanside, we finally got a house.

and a dog...
who I just spent $2,000 fucking dollars on yesterday to fix his gimpy knee.

Fucker better bring my slippers every damm morning for the next ten years!

Sweet! How cool is it that this awesome kid found this site and our wishes & prayers for him? Bradley, when you meet Ed, you gotta look around for any signs Dave has been around. Be our inside spy.

This is a great story.

I just hope Ed doesn't sing "How Many Say I." We don't want young Bradley feeling ill during his recovery...
