SAMMY
Post-Van Halen, Hagar's been riding high on his own tequila. Now comes
rock enshrinement.

Hagar praised the other 2007 inductees. "I'm really happy about Patti
Smith," he says. "That's one thing I like about the Hall of Fame. I
never expected to be inducted. I really didn't. I knew Van Halen would
eventually somehow, someway, but it was still hard for me to imagine
Sammy Hagar being part of it. But it is. I'm so honored. But someone
like Patti Smith, who really had such a short, intense career. She did
it so cool. She really deserves it for being such a rebel and being a
girl at that time. She was cool. I think it's cool that they honor
those kinds of people. Some awards shows don't. They go with the most
commercial. Half the people don't know who Patti Smith is, but I think
it's awesome. She was a true artist, a Neil Young kind of artist,
where, s -- , man, you do it my way or forget it. I like that. I'm
almost that kind of artist. For some reason, my art doesn't project
that. But I'm that kind of person. I never cop out. I never sell out.
I never endorse things. It's so funny. What did I do wrong? Or right?
"R.E.M. -- another artsy band. I like R.E.M., they're not my kind of
band, but they made some great records. Grandmaster Flash. I don't own
a Grandmaster Flash record, but he was really the innovator. I like
who they're recognizing this year. The Ronettes. How long have they
been waiting? For Sammy Hagar to be a part of that crazy, eclectic
group, I like that part of it. If it was Bruce Springsteen, U2 and
Sammy Hagar, I'd be this thin, little guy -- oh, man, I'm going to get
no respect at this thing. But with this eclectic group, I kinda fit
in, quirky-wise."
