"The name Van Halen, the family legacy, is going to go on long after I’m gone." ― Eddie Van Halen Topic(s): Family More From Eddie Van Halen "I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland." "Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me." "Music is for people. The word ‘pop’ is simply short for popular. It means that people like it. I’m just a normal jerk who happens to make music. As long as my brain and fingers work, I’m cool." More In Family "The very fact that we are having a national conversation about what we should eat, that we are struggling with the question about what the best diet is, is symptomatic of how far we have strayed from the natural conditions that gave rise to our species, from the simple act of eating real, whole, fresh food."― Mark Hyman "Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family."― George Bernard Shaw "To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there."― Barbara Bush
