Fatherly Advice

According to Valerie Bertinell, before Eddie Van Halen took their son Wolfgang out on tour, he did his best Polonius-to-Laertes impression:

“But he did say a lot of the same things that I thought. He said, ‘Be careful with your heart. When you do give it away have patience and kindness… and be careful of the skanks and w**res; they’re gonna want you because you’re in Van Halen!’ That’s it. He’s a really terrific dad, he really is.”

Be careful with your heart. Be careful of the skanks. That’s lyrics, dude.

UPDATE: Oh, what the heck, it’s Friday:
