People can be classified into two groups, you are either a Roth or a Hagar.\u00c2\u00a0 Despite the fact that there has been years of Hagar, not all of them bad, I have always felt most comfortable as a Roth.\u00c2\u00a0 So it is with great satisfaction that I bring you this news:\u00c2\u00a0 Van Halen will be touring with David Lee Roth this fall<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Nikki won’t be pleased, she’s a true-blue Hagar.\u00c2\u00a0 You might think that the Roth-Hagar split would put stress on our marriage.\u00c2\u00a0 You would be right, I still bear the scars from our first attempt to “discuss” this matter.<\/p>\n
