NO MORE SPANDEX: Former Van Halen frontman training to be a paramedic
NEW YORK - Rocker DAVID LEE ROTH, the former VAN HALEN frontman, is taking up a new trade.
Instead of screaming "Jump", he'll be yelling, "Clear!"
Roth, 50!, has been riding for several weeks w/a New York ambulance crew in training to become a paramedic, THE NEW YORK POST reported yesterday.
"I have been on over 200 individual rides now," said Roth. "Not once has anyone recognized me, which is perfect for me."
The singer, who spent a decade w/VAN HALEN before embaring on a solo career, except for a collaboration w/the band for 2 new songs on a greatest hits album, has been riding along w/crews in the Bronx, Manhattan & Brooklyn several nights a week. His training seems to be going well.
Several weeks ago, ROTH saved the life of a heart attack victime in the Bronx by using a defibrillator.
ROTH takes his works so seriously that he did not want publicity so that it would not "diminish what I am trying to do here." He has said that he did not want the neighborhoods he was working in named so that he would not draw attention to himself or co-workers.
"You would never know you were dealing w/a rock'n'roll guy," said LINDA REISSMAN, ROTH'S EMT consultant & tutor. "His commitment really is touching. He wants to help people."
ROTH told the DAILY NEWS earlier this year tha his father was a surgeon & that he worked as a surgical orderly in Los Angeles in the early 1970's.
Could you Imagine??????????? "Oh I feel like being VERY VERY sick - - OMG!!!!!!!!!!! AREN'T YOU DAVID LEE ROTH????????" blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hahahaa
I always thought David Lee Roth had Rock's Best Chest... *eg* What do y'all think?????????????
