Dinosaur rockers Van Halen had a little trouble with their pre-recorded backup tapes...
So what happens when you’re Van Halen, the last song in your set list is the million-seller “Jump” with its synthesizer-keyboard opening…and the recording you’re using to play back the synth is accidentally run at 48K instead of 44.1K?

Coincidentally, we just changed office buildings this week, at work, so we all have a shiny new cubicles. These cubes are designed so they can be assembled with entire panels made out of dry-erase material: inside, outside, there's a place to draw on nearly every 'wall'. Everybody in my little area has some graffiti on their 'inside' whiteboard, so I figured I'd better put something on mine... so I drew the first thing that popped into my head this AM: the Van Halen logo, which I will reproduce here with my mad MS Paint skilz:
Tora! Tora! Tora! Hang 'em high! Bottom's Up! You really got me dancing the sinner's swing in the mean streets, you little dreamer you! Total loss of control.
What a drag it is getting old...

Is that Eddie or David?
it’s the withered husk of Eddie. Dave’s not looking much better, though.
That’s good ’cause if I had to give a correct answer lest my life be forfeited I’d have said Eddie. They both need to take Metallica’s approach and just go with short hair (and maybe fewer public appearances).
I do believe, and have instituted this practice myself, that the older a man gets, the shorter his hair needs to be.
Cutting WAY back on the Christian Brothers brandy is a good idea too.
