It might even make him a bit more aware that what he has done in his life is worth celebrating a bit more. And that the legacy of CVH should not be sort of brushed aside, as sometimes seems to be the case with his unwillingness to open the (possibly mythical) vaults.
I like it that he's going to reflect on his experience in this kind of forum - The Smithsonian - and hope that there's more to follow. Documentaries, books, retrospectives ...THINK LIKE THE WAVESComment

Hmmm...do ya think he will mention that part about curing himself of tongue cancer by drinking wine, or the bit about getting it the first place by putting metal picks in his mouth? I still can not understand how the majority of the American population uses metal forks and spoons to eat each day with seemingly no side-effects, yet this knucklehead plays a few dates on a tour and becomes afflicted.Comment

To represent the path of progressions in his instrument designs, a Stealth finished EVH Brand Wolfgang will also be included to represent his modern-day workhorse.
In addition to the guitars, Van Halen and Fender Musical Instruments Corp. will donate an EVH Brand 5150-III amplifier and speaker cabinet to embody the journey and progression of his amplifier designs from the early '70s through the modern day.Comment

You got THAT from 1 sentence (note: not even a quote) written by some AP clown who decided that Jump and Why Can't This Suck Balls were the two most worthy of mention songs?Comment

It is always interesting to hear what a first generation American has to say about America ( even if a small child when arriving here) especially when offered some kind of award or recognition of some society who honors in the truest sense accomplishments of people who fit this scenario of living in America. Persons who are first generation Americans, jumped up above the other heads to look around and stayed there lol.
It will be interesting to hear a man speak who writes poetry prose song for a living obviously understanding words and public speaking (thru a wall of 45 marshal amps lol) but maybe isn't the best at addressing a group and just giving a speech.
I want to see this when posted.2015 once smoke 2 smoke ...poke

First of all, Jump is one of my favorite VH songs and I have no idea why it seems to be the most hated CVH song. Why? Because it has keyboards? Fuck that bullshit, it's still a good song.How do you spell pretentious? S-A-M-M-Y H-A-G-A-RComment
