The VanHalen story should read-
on tour with his dad and uncle who is VanHalen’s drummer.

and here he is again,,,,,,anonymous, the whiney little bitch!!

Hey anonymous, Rolling Stone are grammatically correct in that Van Halen article. The Van Halen bassist they’re referring to is that fat kid, Wolfgang, and not uncle Alex.

I can see how the story can be confusing with the way RS wrote it. The second sentence can also be misconstrued as Van Halen (the band) and Bertinelli as having been separated for seven years as if Bertinelli was part of the band at one time when the Van Halen RS is referring to is Eddie.

Sorry RS but you get a “D” for confusing the reader in your articles. You writers need to go back and take some English composition courses.

You two seem to always wind up in the same place!

. . . And could you please please please learn how to use an elipsis ( . . . )? It’s three dots, not as many as you want. And for Christ’s sake don’t use commas! There are rules to the english language, you might want to try following them!

RS:
“Eddie Van Halen . . . will continue to raise their sixteen-year-old son Wolfgang, who’s currently on tour with his dad and uncle as Van Halen’s bassist.”

Ummm, you . . .
“The VanHalen story should read-
on tour with his dad and uncle who is VanHalen’s drummer.”

Nope. You’re definitely the one who got it wrong. If they wrote it your way, then Wolfgang is not mentioned as the bassist. They wrote it correctly; you need glasses and medication for the noise in your head!

Also, if they wrote it your way, it would sound like they were implying that Wolfgang’s “uncle” and “dad” are the same person.

Give it up; you’ll never make it as an editor.

Yeah, you’d read it that way if you were a fuckin’ idiot!
