What is Van Splainin (or, The Cultural Significance of Edward Van Halen)?

The legacy of Edward Van Halen is preserved and reframed in a leisurely manner with this ongoing series of relaxed-fit episodes. Justin Zeppa tries to recontextualize the argument for Ed's place as the greatest rock 'n' roll guitar player of all time for his sometimes-bandmate Aaron Bales. Aaron is very patient about it and is frequently rewarded with high-quality rockin' and some trips in a time machine.
