Show Notes
Coming up, one of the funniest song stories I’ve come across. Sammy Hagar was in the middle of an intimate moment with his then-wife. Ya, they were in the middle of doing it... when they were interrupted by the singer’s neighbor. His neighbor also happened to be the legendary guitarist in his band, Eddie Van Halen from the band of the same name...Van Halen... Eddie was up late, a bit tipsy, and his wife had kicked him out, but he had a no-brainer song idea that he wanted to write then and there. So Eddie interrupted the couple's session. They got a massive hit out of it, Finish What Ya Started, but the singer was in trouble with his wife. The story is next on Professor of Rock.
