Musician Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen died after a battle with throat cancer. He was 65 years old. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images). DO you like music? Oh, how interesting. So do I. We’ve so much in common. I riff on the subject this week, after a study showed music was as “addictive as drugs and drink”. As I don’t take drugs and only drink from Monday to Sunday, I wouldn’t know about that. But I know what the researchers at Canada’s McGill University are talking about, at least until the conversation turns to “The Nucleus Accumbens”. Don’t think I’ve heard of that band, though they sound a bit prog (indeed, I think I may have seen, or certainly heard, a jazz-rock band called Nucleus in the 1970s).
