The song that propelled Sammy Hagar to rock stardom - the 1984 anthem of rebellion and fast living - came to him after he was pulled over and ticketed for speeding on I-87, just outside of Albany. Hagar says he wrote “I Can’t Drive 55” in his head as he continued on to Lake Placid, where he had a home near his son's boarding school.

The former Van Halen lead singer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer spoke to Patrick Tine about that song and his upcoming tour, where he’ll be joined by former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, guitarist Joe Satriani and drummer Jason Bonham.

He’ll be taking another trip up the Northway soon, playing SPAC on July 22.
