Why We Love Sammy Hagar

Let's get the obvious objections out of the way: yes, David Lee Roth is the *real* lead singer of Van Halen, and no, despite our company's stated political non-bias, we in the PDG don't generally reserve words like 'love' and 'admire' for serial Bush campaign donors...

...but as we searched for someone to honor with our September CMS release - someone who exemplifies the spirit of efficient EPG entry workflow, who captures our hearts much as we now capture richer media file metadata, who knows the ins and outs of enhanced secondary event trigger timecode validation, one name kept rising to the forefront, one figure who truly defines the spirit of rock-n-roll, entrepreneurial daring, and indeed the rugged individualistic ethos of America itself.

That figure is, of course, the curly-maned scourge of the highway patrol, the golden-throated front man with the romantic heart, the Midas-fingered impresario of the high-end tequila market, the Red Rocker himself, Mr. Samuel Roy "Sammy" Hagar.

From the early days with Montrose, inverted hand on hip like Robert Plant's younger American brother, to gradual but inevitable solo success, to the multi-platinum Van Halen years, to the never-ending Cabo San Lucas party of his golden years, Mr. Hagar has led a charmed life - a life lived on his terms - loud, raucous and balls-to-the-wall - a life that, were our internal content management and publishing platform a person, we would like for it to live.

So we ask you to join us, take a seat, pour a velvety-smooth tumbler of Cabo Wabo Anejo, clear the throat, warm up the vocal cords, and give your best rock-n-roll shriek to the heavens in honor of Mr. Hagar. One, Two, Three Lock Box!!
