The Chicago Cubs joined us before the concert, I guess these guys were in town playing the Oakland A's and they came by the show since they are big Sammy fans. I don't know any of their names, but I guess it's the main guys.

Redhead Sightings Around the World
Redhead Sightings Around the World

We were in the south of Spain & ran into this Superfan from Czech Republic! Aaron's wife, Misha, happens to be from there so she interpreted everything and took this picture with him and me. It's always cool to run into Redheads around the world. 

He was deep, he knew about Chickenfoot, he knew about HSAS, of course Van Halen and solo stuff going back to the "Red" album -- he was very cool not pushy & asked for a handshake and a photo and if he could buy me a drink ,which of course I agreed to, hah!!

VOA turns 32 today!
VOA turns 32 today!

VOA, wow 32 years. I can't believe how belligerent I was at this time about Russia pulling out of the 1984 Olympics -- that's what the statement was all about, the voice of America! I actually watched the video for VOA a few days ago and laughed my ass off. First off, Sammy acting (ha ha) strike one. Then, the amount of money that was spent was incredible.... no one could get away with that today! The video cost nearly $400,000 and came out of my share of the royalties like every other artist in those days, ouch!!!

Just filmed Rock 'n' roll road trip with John Mellencamp. One of my favorite interviews in my life. John is the real deal. It was really great, him and I hit it off even better than I expected.

I've always been a fan, I knew him and I could connect on some soulful level and we did. We played a song which is an old blues folksong called "Delia". No rehearsal or anything so it was raw, rough, and ready, but very cool song.

"The Red Rocker Bar and Grill in West Memphis has been open for a one year now!

We were on the way to the Rogers, Arkansas show so we stopped by for a quick jam of "Rock Candy" with a really cool blues band from Memphis.
