I am getting flashback of the Just A Gigolo video as I read this...



ROTH TO BECOME A PARAMEDIC


Former Van Halen rocker David Lee Roth has quit music to become a paramedic.

The 48-year-old singer started out in the medical profession before finding fame as a rock superstar -- and now he's made his millions he wants to return to his roots.

Roth tells American news site the Dailydish.com, "I used to be a surgical orderly in South Central L.A. I started that when I got out of junior college in the early '70s, and that led to a variety of things in the outdoor medical fire force and training with the Green Berets (U.S. Special Forces).

"My father was a surgeon, and uncles and my cousins were also in the medical community, so I come by it natural."

Roth has moved from California to New York, and is living in a small apartment while he trains as an emergency medical technician.

He adds, "I want to be working in the outer boroughs. This city promises great color and insight in each and every neighborhood.

"On the upper East Side, it's gonna be heart attacks and stomach aches. But in other neighborhoods, it's all trauma."

Am I the only one who'd be completely freaked out if you'd have a seizure or something, and wake up to see Roth's face right over you?

Shouldn't hospitals have a law banning any posers from becoming paramedics?

Roth: Hey maaaaan I see YOU are all banged up there maaaaaan. Now lemme see.... Where's that book that I am still studying?



I have NEVER seen Roth talking NORMAL. Seeing him outside of the music world, I just DON'T see it. And like the article says, fellow New York schmoes if YOU do see Roth approaching/ hovering you RUN! RUN!!!!! :D

In other news, 48 Medical Drugs were stolen this afternoon from local hospital.

It was this or "Would you like fries with that?"

Oh well...as long as he isn't embarassing himself onstage anymore.

:rolleyes:

One other thing...did anyone notice that this came up just a couple of months after Hagar rejoined the band? I'd say someone is throwing in the towel.

Roth looks beyond creepy in that picture. Reminds me of that psychopath in Manhunter.

I dunno... if he's going back to his roots and all, that's not such a bad thing. But this is David Lee Roth. It's just hard to picture him driving an ambulance.

Yeah, it repulsed and humored me at the same time. Had to post it!
