Exuberant California, Zen Rock'n'roll
Van Halen
Van Halen is a groundbreaking account of an extraordinary band, caught in the events of a revolutionary time. John Scanlan follows the band's pursuit of the 'art of artlessness', and describes how they characterize 'Zen California' - a state of mind and way of being that above all celebrates 'the now'.
