I heart Sammy Hagar

[NightWatcher]

He sucks as a musician (if you can call it that), but he kicks ass as a tequila magnate

3. I refuse to talk politics when I'm drinking tequila. Or think politics. Or live politics.

Or breath politics. Or eat politics. Or sleep politics.

I just drink the tequila, and comment on how smooth it is, or how much I enjoy the company I'm with.

4. I don't like his tequila at all, he ruined Van Halen, and his solo work is annoying.

So who he supports politically is the icing on the shit cake that is Sammy Hagar in my book.

YMMV

5. I don't listen to his music. I don't follow his politics.

I just like tequila, and Cabo Wabo is some of the smoothest I'm familiar with.

7. LOL...

oh so very well said.

6. Here's an awesome review of his tequila

http://www.billrushing.org/id219.html

For those who don't know, the "Cabo Wabo" brand comes to us coutesy of Mr. Sammy Hagar. Hagar is justifiably world-famous for his role in turning Van Halen from one of the world's coolest and greatest bands into a bland, predictable suckfest that reminds one most of early Winger, or perhaps a slightly more rocking version of Air Supply. His one-dimensional "California Party Guy" personality and predictable lyrics provided the perfect foil for Eddie Van Halen's laughable, deluded desire to take Van Halen in a more "serious, artistic direction". In another group of people, at another time, in some other far off land, this might have worked. Sadly, though, this great idea came from a band whose bassist plays an instrument styled after a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey, and whose drummer once won a bet by holding a lit cigarette between the insides of his forearms for ten minutes.

...

Now for what I think:

Taste: Tastes of cheap ethanol with no redeeming smoothness, with notes of "sediment" and "algae" predominating. I will give it this...at least it does lack the "oiliness" of some tequilas, which I loathe. However, we get something even worse; the taste most resembles drinking the last quarter-inch of water out of the bottom of a fishtank that hasn't been cleaned for a while.

Smell: See above. Mostly algae and dirt.

Bottle: Completely as advertised. The bottles are truly lovely.

Overall impressions:

Better than:

Diseased hookers
Gin (any)
Old milk
Sterno
Bandolero
Used motor oil
Cuervo
Round-Up

Worse than:

Any beer
Any non-fortified wine
Cuervo 1800
Water
Robitussin

10. Ya got me. You didn't tell me you were going to bring such a credible reviewer to the table.

All I had to do was take a gander at the picture on his homepage and, well, I can see why you respect his opinion so much.

:rofl: :woohoo:

11. How about a real review?

12. How about *I* still hate it and think he's a dooshface and would never buy anything he would shill?

As I said, YMMV.

Me and Bill Rushing, we're on the same page.

13. In the words of a famous unnamed person... "There is no accounting for taste."

Unless taste can be attributed to subjectivity, that is.

Truce.

What IS your favorite tequila? I kinda prefer mezcal over tequila actually, and this is the absolute best I've ever tasted. Would that I could afford to buy a bottle more than once a year.
