what's next, Sammy Hagar, dental hygienist?

what to make of this story touting David Lee Roth training the be a volunteer EMT in New York City? if you opened your eyes after an accident and saw him, wouldn't you just assume that he's the tour guide for your trip to hell? i mean good for him, but does this look like a man interested in your well being?

"you want a little vodka in your IV?"

in a surprisingly unrelated story, New York stocks up on sex workers before the Republican Convention. this line wins the "line the writer probably giggled at as he typed" award: "Clubs have started booking private parties for delegates anxious to ogle topless beauties after a day of watching fully clothed politicians boast about family values."

hey, our grandfather loved david lee roth so if diamond dave's good enough for him, he's good enough for me.

it gets weirder. from the boston globe:

DIAMOND DAVE The next best thing to Steven Tyler? Former Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth, apparently. The combed-over crooner will join Jennifer Holliday as a guest performer at the Boston Pops annual July Fourth extravaganza. (Aerosmith was almost on the bill but canceled due to scheduling issues.) Backed by Keith Lockhart, not Eddie Van Halen, Roth will perform "California Girls" and "Jump," and Holliday will belt out a medley of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," "When the Saints Go Marching In," and "America the Beautiful." The concert, to be broadcast nationally from 10-11 p.m. on CBS, and locally beginning at 8:30 p.m., climaxes, as usual, with the orchestra's signature performance of Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes Forever."
