The saga of Edward Van Halen, session player, continues! Eddie, who evidently won’t rest until he’s played onstage with every act in the Western World, was almost recently spied pickin’ with Patty Smyth & Scandal, when he knocked off two tunes at the L. A. Palladium. Then it was off to Austin, Texas, where he did an “encore guest spot”
with Scandal! Still unsatisfied, the guitarist extraordinaire joined Patty & Co. in Dallas, where he played on three songs, including his fave Scandal tune, “Maybe We Went Too Far.” This is beginning to sound like one of the most expensive auditions in show-biz history.
Shake a hand, if you can: Little Richard's lawsuit against Specialty Records for songwriting royalty monies has been dismissed. No word yet if any further action is contemplated. Less interesting, no doubt, yet every bit as judicious, is the Allman Brothers’ suit against their former record label. Arista, claiming that the company’s refusal to allow the Allmans to record the last three albums on their contract “caused irreparable harm” to the band’s career and reputations. Reputations for what??
