There's nothing I could write about Eddie Van Halen today that I didn't already write when he was alive. But he was my favorite guitar player, and I guess he still is (and probably always will be).

The thing is, selling books is really weird now. Selling 1 book before the release date seems way more important than selling 5 books the month after it's been in stores. If I were smart, I would tour while I'm still writing the book and just type on-stage.

If I’m on the committee, here’s my argument: Notre Dame was idle and falls to 4 (not a criticism). Georgia’s losing performance still warrants elevation to the 3 seed. Best possible playoff scenario, most accurate overall talent assessment.

Also, the first 500 people who do this will get a "signed book plate." Which is just a sticker that I signed with a Sharpie. But you can adhere this sticker to the inside cover, and this magically turns your book into a "limited first edition," increasing its eventual eBay value.
