Great Rock-n-Roll/Election Analogy

From Supersuckers frontman Eddie Spaghetti:
Let's say that the Republican Party is Van Halen and (for the sake of
argument we will time travel quite a bit) Abraham Lincoln is the David
Lee Roth of Republicans. An ass kicking, slave freeing,
minimize-the-government-in-our-lives bad ass. The glory years. Then
let's say that Sammy Hagar is the Ronald Regan character, he totally
lost the die-hard but for some reason Van Halen had never been more
popular. Hit after hit. The Van Halen machine makes more money than
anyone thought possible! Next, sadly, it's time to enter that guy from
Extreme, Gary Cherone. Here is our G.W. Bush. Even the most
dyed-in-the-wool Van Halen fans have to admit, this was one bad idea,
it didn't work and, thankfully we only had to put up with one record
from this version of the Republican Par..., uh, I mean... Van Halen.
Gary made Van Halen so bad that Sammy Hagar returning actually seems to be a GOOD idea!
