I don't know if your aware that Ronnie Montrose just died today, or yesterday...

RIP Ronnie Montrose who gave Sammy Hagar a chance in his band...

Montrose played with a number of rock acts during his long career, including Van Morrison, the Edgar Winter Group, Boz Scaggs and others. He formed his own band, Montrose, in 1973. Future Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar was a member.

Not a big fan of Hagar.  Especially once he became the frontman of Van Halen.

Same here. Except for this song. It hits too close to home for me not to like it.
