No longer unemployed (their folks are overjoyed)

AUGUST 13, 2007

Save this image. Turn it into computer wallpaper. Print it out and put it next to your birth certificate in your safe deposit box. Because it's not every day you see Eddie Van Halen planting a wet one on the cheek of David Lee Roth.

By now, the whole 80s world knows that Van Halen has reunited (well, sorta. Wolfgang Van Halen is subbing in for Michael Anthony on bass). Eddie, his brother Alex and David made it official today. The tour begins Sept. 27 in Charlotte, N.C. No tour stops are set for Florida at this point. Click here for a list of available dates.

My fantasy Van Halen set list:

Eruption
Running with the Devil
Unchained
Hot for the Teacher
Ain't Talking 'Bout Love
Feel Your Love Tonight
Dance the Night Away
Jamie's Crying
Beautiful Girls
Ice Cream Man
Everybody Wants Some
Jump
You Really Got Me

Encores

And the Cradle Will Rock
Panama
Happy Trails
