Van Halen: The Shocking Truth!

David Roth
Michelle GarcíaMichelle García

@pamelacolloff Not finding title right now but in a music memoir the writer argues: if Eddie Van Halen had not been constrained by the adolescent antics and limits of David Lee Roth, he would have been a guitar virtuoso unheard by most. One of the best celebrations of constraints Ive ever read.

Sarah Smarsh

@Tanvim I admire @Sarah_Smarsh work with structure both in her book Heartland and her recent Harper's piece. The former for its intertwined circles and the latter because the direction is unexpected. It's sly and I like that.
