Unique talent like Edward’s is a gift.
Its not something you can learn.

Figure out YOUR gift, don’t try to be someone else.

I think these stories are very important.
The younger generation needs to be aware that there was more to VH than the what they gave us in the 90′s.
This is NOT living in the past. It’s is having respect for what came before and how powerful and entertaining those live shows were. Trust me….if VH did release a box set of those old shows, many young kids would look at VH in a completely different light.
Guitar hero and the sam era is not the way to get started….
