I Like Thee, Michael Anthony

I like thee, Michael Anthony.
I’m not sure why.
Could it be because you put out a delicious bbq and hot sauce?
Could it be because you never get your due in Van Halen?
Could it be that, when asked to bass solo in said band, you performed a funky doom metal sound that re-enacted a dinosaur in tar, thus showing unusual wit?
Could it be because you tell people the way shit is, even Eddie?
Could it be because you took a pay cut to allow Van Hagar to tour as full unit, showing more love towards the fans than the dollar?
Or could it be because your lack of involvement for VHIII resulted in mediocrity?
Whatever the reason, Michael Anthony, I like thee.
