Sammy Hagar may be best known as the former frontman of the iconic
band Van Halen. His fans know him as the Red Rocker and as the
songwriter behind hits like "I Can't Drive 55," "Right Now," and
"Why Can't This Be Love." However, music is just one of his
passions. Sammy is a businessman, a connoisseur of great cocktails,
and the creator of Cabo Wabo Tequila, Sammy's Beach Bar Rums,
and-along with his good friend and celebrity restaurateur Guy

Cantinas and Sammy's Beach Bar & Grills so people could hang
out with their friends and families, have a few drinks, laugh, and
enjoy the good times and unique cultures of the places he enjoys
most-and the recipes in Sammy's Cocktail Hits: 85 Personal

"A gritty, engrossing, and concise account of a boxer's meteoric
career and tortured personal life."-Kirkus Reviews "If I wake up, I
know I'm a success. The day I don't wake up, I know I'll be home. I
have one foot on this earth and one foot has crossed over. I didn't
just die, I lived."-Johnny Tapia ...the ghost of Johnny Tapia lives
on "Mi Vida Loca" (My Crazy Life) was Johnny Tapia's nickname and
his reason for being. Haunted by the brutal murder of his beloved

he craved-and he did both with gusto. In The Ghost Of Johnny Tapia,
Paul Zanon, with the help of Tapia's widow Teresa, tells the
harrowing and unforgettable story of a boxing genius who couldn't,
in the end, defeat his demons. From the Foreword: "Johnny had
incredible heart, was such a sweet man, but was also tormented. He
had two sides to him. The sweetest, nicest guy, but then the other
side which could probably kill you. He was tortured with his
addictions, but Johnny was always pure emotion in that ring."-Sammy

For over 30 years, Sammy Hagar has been a fixture in heavy metal
music. Beginning with his successful solo career where he churned
out hits such as "I Can't Drive 55" and stretching into his decade
long stint as the frontman for Van Halen, Hagar has sold millions
of albums all over the world. Taking over for Van Halen's original
singer David Lee Roth in 1985, Hagar kept that monumentally
successful band going stronger than ever during their biggest years
before being unceremoniously fired in 1996. A decade later, he
returned triumphant, leading the band on a reunion tour that was as
much a box office smash as a personal catastrophe. Now he tells the
outrageous and unbelievable stories of his rise through rock music,
detailing how his voice became instantly recognizable all over the
world. Lavishing readers with behind the scenes stories from Van
Halen, one of the biggest-selling rock groups in history, Hagar
tells of the worldwide stadium tours, the private jets, and the
parties, and of course the trappings that came with fame and
success. From the decadence of one of the world's biggest rock acts
at its peak to the struggles of egos to the making of some of
rock's biggest anthems, Hagar's account spares no one, least of all
himself. In this book, his fans will meet a remarkably human man
behind the bleached hair and scraggly beard, up close and personal,
a man who has stayed true to his working class values throughout
his rocket ship ride to the top of the world of rock music.
